Recommendations for Coping with the Heatwave

The National Meteorological Service issued a yellow alert for storms on Friday, but the weekend outlook looks pleasant and suitable for outdoor activities. After the rains on Friday, a slight relief is expected that will be felt on Saturday, January 25 in Argentina, especially in the center and north of the country where temperatures reached up to 36 degrees.

To avoid suffering from the effects of high temperatures during a heatwave, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, consume fresh foods, wear loose-fitting clothing made of lightweight materials and light colors, protect oneself from the sun, and pay special attention to infants and children. However, good weather conditions are expected to last until Monday, according to the SMN.

Warnings are routinely issued twice a day to alert the population and relevant agencies about possible adverse weather phenomena. These warnings can be geographically widespread and persistent, and are updated based on the emergence or cessation of risky situations.

The current forecast indicates a sunny Saturday with ideal temperatures for outdoor activities, with the thermometer reading between 20° and 31°. A similar weather situation is expected on Sunday, with a minimum of 21° and a maximum of 30° in Buenos Aires. The SMN also notes that there are no active alerts for this weekend in the country, indicating that no risky phenomena are anticipated.

In summary, it is recommended to follow the authorities' guidelines regarding weather alerts and take necessary measures to mitigate the effects of high temperatures during a heatwave.
