Heat to hit 38 °C in Ungheni from Tuesday, with tropical nights — orange code, red in the south

The Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring has issued a heatwave warning for 28 June – 1 July. In Ungheni, in the centre of the country, the code rises from yellow (28–29 June, +33…+35 °C) to orange (30 June – 1 July, +36…+38 °C), while the south falls under a red code with +39…+41 °C. Nights stay above 20 degrees, and for the people of Ungheni the practical point is simple: how to cool off without becoming a statistic — in the municipality, only the Prut and Delia beaches have lifeguards.
