By the end of July, all of Europe will be gripped by scorching temperatures. Only next week, meteorologists expect a cooling of the weather, but it will only last for a few days. The 6-degree drop in temperatures will be noticeable in our country as well.
But the days of cool weather will not last long. Another heat wave, with temperatures even higher than the first wave, will once again engulf the European continent.
In this unusual summer, regarding the duration of extreme temperatures, doctors advise the population, but also foreign tourists visiting Albania: avoid going out during peak hours, stay in cool environments and consume as much water as possible!
Skënder Brataj, head of the National Emergency, tells A2 CNN that every day 1,800 citizens seek emergency help for problems caused by the heat. Officially, there are no victims of the heat in our country, but high temperatures can cause heart attacks and strokes.
Health authorities are calling for caution in these temperatures, especially for children and the chronically ill. Meanwhile, 36 summer health centers are on standby for vacationers heading to coastal areas.
