The hot weather continues in Romania this week, according to recent data from meteorologists.

On Wednesday, July 22, and Thursday, July 23, the weather will be extremely hot in most of the country. No less than 29 counties in Crisana, Banat, Oltenia, Muntenia, Transylvania, and Moldova regions will be under a code yellow of heat in this period. Meteorologists expect temperatures to go up to 38 degrees Celsius in these areas, Bucharest included.

During these two days, the temperature humidity index will pass the 80 unit threshold, which means that people will feel severe heat stress. The most efficient ways to fight the heat is to avoid prolonged sun exposure, to wear light color clothes and to drink at least two liters of still water per day to avoid dehydration.
