The new heat wave that Romania is experiencing this week may cause some traffic restrictions.

As the country’s Western half is under a code orange for heat and the other half is under a code yellow, the local railways company has decided to introduce speed restrictions for trains. Thus, the average train speed in Romania will be lower by 20-30 kilometer per hour compared to the normal one.

The National Roads Company – CNAIR may also temporarily restrict traffic for trucks over 7.5 tons to protect the local roads.

Daytime temperatures are expected to go up to 37-39 degrees Celsius during the day and will not fall under 20 degrees during the night in the next two days. The heat codes may also prolong over the weekend.
