An orange warning is currently in effect in Primorska due to escalating heat stress. According to forecasts from the Environmental Agency, the intensity of this heat stress is expected to rise in the lowlands beginning Thursday, with conditions predicted to intensify throughout the weekend. Today, the highest recorded daily temperatures are forecasted to range between 31 and 35 degrees Celsius.
The National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) has issued advisory guidelines urging every individual to meticulously organize their daily routines to ensure adherence to recommended safety protocols. A key recommendation focuses on maintaining cool indoor environments. Residents and workers are advised to take measures to prevent warm air from entering living or working spaces, suggesting the use of curtains, blinds, or shutters to mitigate solar gain.
Furthermore, the advisory extends to community-level preparedness. It is recommended that local authorities establish supportive measures. These include, but are not limited to, the preservation and maintenance of shaded green areas.
Additionally, the provision of publicly accessible, air-conditioned facilities is highlighted as a crucial element in managing community resilience during periods of extreme heat. Following these guidelines is essential for minimizing the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to high temperatures and heat stress.
