The Balkans face scorching temperatures

Balkan countries are facing high temperatures, with temperatures expected to reach close to 40 degrees Celsius on Thursday, June 26.

The National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo (NIPHK) has come up with some recommendations and advice on how citizens can protect themselves from heat and high temperatures.

The National Institute of Public Health has recommended that citizens avoid going outside and not perform strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day.

"During the day, when temperatures are higher outside, close the windows and cover them with curtains or materials that block sunlight," says one of the recommendations that the National Institute of Public Health (NIPHK) has published on social networks.

Meanwhile, firefighters across the Balkans are facing warnings of more wildfires as the heat wave intensifies.

Fires have already engulfed several homes in southern Croatia over the weekend, while firefighters in Albania managed to bring dozens of fires under control on Wednesday.

Several countries in the Balkans are expecting temperatures to be close to 40 degrees Celsius on Thursday.

In Croatia, where some areas are still dealing with the aftermath of wildfires and residents were forced to evacuate over the weekend, firefighters warned of a nationwide fire risk on Thursday.

"We call on citizens to exercise increased caution and contribute to safety through responsible behavior," the fire service said in a statement.

From the capital Zagreb in the north to Dalmatia in the south, several regions will be at the highest level of warning for fire danger and health problems for residents from the heat, authorities said.

In Albania, there is a risk that hot and dry weather conditions will cause new wildfires.

And, in Serbia, warnings have also been issued due to extreme temperatures, as on Wednesday in Belgrade temperatures reached 38 degrees, while a day later they are expected to be 39 degrees Celsius./ Rel
