During periods of intense heatwaves, the temperature may rise to 40–42 degrees, and in some places to 43–45 degrees.
It is noted that in recent years, the number of extremely hot days in the country has been increasing. All July months of the past decade have been hotter than the climatic norm, and nine of them are among the ten hottest Julys in the history of meteorological observations.

Experts urge the population to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, consume sufficient fluids, and pay special attention to the health of children, the elderly, and citizens with chronic diseases.
