Het weer voor Roja

The first heat wave of this season has started in Latvia. Starting from the afternoon of 24.05.2024, intensive heat is expected in most of the territory - air temperature will increase up to +27...+29º. Intensive heat will last until the end of May. BE AWARE of intensive heat! Heat causes additional stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Elderly people, infants, as well as representatives of other age groups suffering from chronic diseases are exposed to the risk of health problems! During intense heat, more than usual, people choose to relax by the water, which increases the potential risk of accidents. An overheated person should not walk quickly into cold water! A sudden change in temperature can cause heart rhythm disturbances and sudden death. Do not be presumptuous and evaluate your swimming skills!
