Such temperatures affect the wellbeing even of healthy people, and for some groups they become a direct danger.

The recommendations were published by Bucha City Council.

The window worth cutting out of your day

Time in the sun should be limited between 11:00 and 16:00 — the five hours when the sun is highest and shade offers the least protection.

Physical activity — walks, gardening, sport — should be moved to the morning or evening where possible.

What to do for the rest of the day

Drink enough water and avoid dehydration. Wear light-coloured clothing made of natural fabrics and a hat. Keep rooms cool and air them regularly during the cooler hours.

The city council separately asks people to keep an eye on elderly neighbours and relatives: they are the ones most likely to miss the first signs of overheating.
