The Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute has warned that the national temperature record will likely be broken. Over the coming days, the maximum air temperature could exceed 40 degrees Celsius on as many as three consecutive days. At the same time, on Friday, June 26, the highest, third-level heat warning is in effect in four districts. hnonline.sk ↗
Heat warnings already applied on Wednesday, June 24, to the Bratislava, Trnava and Nitra regions, as well as to the districts of Krupina, Veľký Krtíš and Partizánske. At that time, afternoon temperatures could rise to 33 degrees Celsius. However, more recent forecasts indicate a more pronounced intensification of the heat. domov.sme.sk ↗
Drought and high temperatures are also increasing the risk of wildfires. Firefighters are therefore stepping up preventive patrols and warning of the need for caution. Paramedics recommend limiting time spent outdoors during the hottest part of the day, eating lighter meals, and wearing suitable clothing, head coverings and sunglasses. SITA ↗
The heat wave is also affecting workplaces and vulnerable groups of the population. Labor inspectors are reminding employers of their obligations to ensure adequate working conditions. In Zvolen, a charity is calling on the public to donate sealed bottles of mineral water for people who are more vulnerable during heat waves. Further developments will depend on the current warnings issued by meteorologists and on how long the extremely hot weather lasts. teraz.sk ↗
