21.06.2026 from midday in part of Latvia intensive heat is expected - air temperature will increase up to +27...+29º. 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! By midday, the UV index will reach medium to high levels, so it is not recommended to stay in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
