We live in times when climate change means the holiday season is not only associated with rest and vacations. Summer also means incredibly difficult-to-bear heat waves, high temperatures that threaten health and life, and frequent fires that plague much of Europe and the entire world. Unfortunately, there is no indication that anything will change in this matter.

Currently, heat waves are heading over the Balkan states. Residents of those regions will need to be mindful of their health. Specialists predict that temperatures will reach even 104 degrees Fahrenheit. This means avoiding spending time outdoors, drinking plenty of water, using sunscreen, and wearing a hat is necessary.

Meteorologists and health services in Serbia and Croatia do not have good news for the residents. A red weather alert has been declared in parts of these countries. Additionally, the authorities have appealed to citizens not to go outside unless necessary. This measure ensures the heat does not affect people's health in Serbia and Croatia. Moreover, the Serbian government has ordered employers to protect workers laboring outdoors.

“Winds from North Africa have pushed a hot and dry front over the Balkans, causing temperatures in Serbia to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit this week. Last night, doctors in Belgrade intervened more than 100 times, mainly due to health problems of people struggling with heart diseases, particularly vulnerable to the temperature rise,” reported Al Jazeera TV journalists.
