The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology has registered record temperatures in various Bulgarian cities, warning about health risks and recommending special precautionary measures during intense heat.

Another day with temperatures around and above 40 degrees posed a serious challenge for Bulgarian citizens. Meteorological data shows extremely hot spots in the country, with the leading cities being Haskovo at 40.3 degrees and Sandanski at 40.2 degrees.

Among the most affected regions are also Elhovo with 39.6 degrees, as well as Kardzhali and Gotse Delchev with 39.5 degrees. These extreme values were officially confirmed by the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology.

In Sofia, local authorities took immediate actions to support citizens. The municipality organized free mineral water distribution at three strategic locations: St. Nedelya Square, the underpass of Sofia University, and in front of the National Palace of Culture. This initiative will continue until the 25th or until the water runs out.

Nadya Bacheva, Deputy Mayor for Social Activities, made extremely important recommendations to citizens: "We ask people to avoid direct sunlight exposure, especially the elderly and those with high blood pressure. Do not forget to provide water for street animals, who are also suffering from the heat."

The Labor Inspection issued special guidelines for employers during the summer heat. Since the beginning of the year, 12 reports have been received about work in high temperatures, mainly in enclosed spaces.

Vanya Dzhupanova, an expert from the General Labor Inspection, emphasized: "Employers are obliged to take measures to protect the life and health of employees during orange and red code. We recommend changing working hours, frequent breaks in air-conditioned rooms, and adapting work activities."

In traditionally the hottest Bulgarian city Sandanski, local residents demonstrated adaptivity. They share that they protect themselves by wearing hats, sunglasses, increased fluid intake, and staying in the shade.
