Scorching Heatwave in Serbia: Batut Sounds the Alarm!
Get ready, Serbia, because a real furnace is about to hit the thermometer! The Institute of Public Health of Serbia “Dr Milan Jovanović Batut” has issued an URGENT warning about an upcoming heatwave that will affect most of the country, especially Belgrade and the northern Banat regions. Temperatures will reach dangerous and very dangerous levels, with July 20 and 21 being the critical dates when the thermometer will soar to extreme highs.
What to expect? From July 14 to 21, maximum daily temperatures are expected to seriously threaten our health. Vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and chronically ill patients are especially at risk. Batut warns about heat stress, sunstroke, heat exhaustion, and even heatstroke. This is not just ordinary heat; it is a dangerous phenomenon that can disrupt the basic physiological balance of the body.
Why is this so dangerous? The combination of high temperatures, high humidity, reduced air circulation, and increased UV radiation creates a perfect storm for health problems. The skin loses its ability to cool down, and the body overheats. Batut warns that burns and impaired heat evaporation mechanisms of the skin are particularly risky.
How to protect yourself? Personal protective measures are crucial! Avoid sun exposure during the hottest part of the day, drink plenty of fluids, wear light clothing, and don’t forget UV protection. If you must be outside, take breaks in the shade and listen to your body. This is not the time for heroic feats under the sun!
What if you ignore the warnings? Prepare for heat rash, cramps, fainting, and even heatstroke, which can be fatal. Batut clearly states: this is no joke, but a serious health threat.
Conclusion Serbia faces one of the harshest heatwaves in recent times. Batut has sent a clear message – it’s time for serious preparation and caution. Don’t let the heat catch you off guard and endanger your health. If you have neighbors over 65 or children, check if they are okay and following protective measures.
Now, as we sweat and count the days until cooler weather, ask yourself – are you ready to survive this heat hell? Or will you be just another number in the statistics?
