A special BMS has been issued for the next three days. On Wednesday, July 8, temperatures are expected to rise sharply, reaching 37°C to 40°C in several wilayas. This scorching weather comes with important safety recommendations for citizens to protect themselves during this period of extreme heat.

Children are particularly vulnerable to high temperatures and should avoid playing or spending time under the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Any outdoor activity during these hours can be harmful to their fragile bodies. The same applies to older adults, who should remain indoors as much as possible, stay well hydrated, and avoid going out for grocery shopping or other errands during the hottest part of the day.

For those who have to work or are obliged to go outside, it is advisable to wear light, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics such as cotton, which is more suitable for the summer season. It is also recommended to avoid dark-colored clothing. Sorry, black outfit lovers, but lighter colors will help you cope better with the sun.

Sunscreen is another essential step before heading outdoors. Applying it takes only a few minutes but helps protect your skin from sunburn and excessive sun exposure on one condition: reapply it every two hours to maintain its effectiveness.

If you’re staying at home, keep your living space cool by closing the curtains or blinds during the day and ventilating your home once temperatures drop in the evening. Air conditioning can be your best friend during this period, provided it is used properly. You can find out how in this article.

Moreover, never leave children or pets inside parked vehicles, even for a few minutes. Such situations can quickly become fatal, as illustrated by the tragic case of a French mother who left her two children in a car during a heatwave. When she returned just a few minutes later, both children had died.

Finally, know the warning signs of heat-related illness. If someone experiences dizziness, confusion, nausea, a rapid heartbeat, or loses consciousness, move them to a cool place, give them water if they are conscious, and seek immediate medical assistance.

By following these simple safety measures, everyone can stay protected and enjoy a safer summer season.
