BUDAPEST, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — Hungarian health authorities have issued a level 3 heat alert, the highest in the country, for the entire territory from Thursday to Sunday, based on the latest forecasts from national weather service HungaroMet.
Forecasters say average daily temperatures in many areas will exceed 27 degrees Celsius, with peak temperatures likely to exceed 35 degrees.
Authorities warn that such extreme heat poses a serious risk to everyone's health, including those in good physical condition. The highest heat alert was last issued on June 24.
A nationwide ban on campfires in forests and within 200 metres of them is in effect from Sunday. Authorities warn that the vegetation is so dry that it could be ignited by a spark or heat source. While open fire cooking or grilling is permitted in private gardens, fires must not be left unattended.
There have been 8,106 registered open-air fires in Hungary this year, injuring 55 people and burning a total of 93 million square meters of land.
Officials are urging people to drink plenty of fluids, avoid alcohol, caffeine and drinks high in sugar, and limit outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day. They are also stressing that children, the elderly, the sick or pets should never be left in parked cars.
