do not go outside during the daytime heat unless necessary;
drink more clean water;
wear light and breathable clothing;
do not leave children in a closed car;
regularly check on elderly relatives;
do not stand near trees and light structures during strong winds.
What should be paid attention to during dust storms?
If a strong wind starts, it is advisable to close windows in houses and cars and not stay in open areas for long. It can be especially dangerous to stand near trees, advertising structures, and objects that are not securely fastened.
Drivers should reduce speed during dust storms and increase the safe distance from the vehicle in front.
A serious three-day test
The heat of up to 48 degrees and strong winds expected on July 18–20 are not typical summer weather. In such conditions, it is important not to neglect your health, to adjust your daily routine to the weather, and to be attentive to your loved ones.
