The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management has issued second-degree heat warnings for parts of Poland, as the Ministry of Interior confirms that emergency services are prepared for extreme weather. <\/p>\n
The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management has issued second-degree heat warnings for parts of the Lubusz and Lower Silesian voivodeships. Daytime temperatures are expected to reach 29-31 degrees Celsius on Wednesday and 31-34 degrees on Thursday, with nighttime lows between 16 and 19 degrees. These alerts remain in effect from Wednesday at 1:00 PM until Friday at 8:00 PM.<\/p>\n
Meteorologists expect the heat to spread across Poland by Friday. While most areas are under second-degree alerts, the West Pomeranian and Lubusz voivodeships may face third-degree warnings. Conversely, southern districts of the Subcarpathian and Lesser Poland voivodeships may only see first-degree alerts on Saturday. The Ministry of Interior and Administration noted that temperatures in some regions could exceed 35 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, voivodes and interior ministry officials held a briefing at the Government Security Center to discuss responses to heat-related risks. Key concerns include potential fires and health impacts, particularly for children and the elderly. The ministry confirmed that all relevant services are on high alert.<\/p>\n
Portuguese education unions and the Association of Public School Directors have urged the government to suspend classes and reschedule exams due to a heatwave lasting over two weeks. Proposals include adjusting the school calendar so that the academic year ends in early June rather than July.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, weather alerts were issued for 14 of 18 Portuguese districts. While temperatures in the north and east reached 35 degrees Celsius, the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere predicts that levels in several regions will surpass 40 degrees Celsius this week.<\/p>\n
The Eiffel Tower closed on Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 PM due to record-breaking heat, with visitors restricted from entering after 12:15 PM. Operators noted that public safety is the priority and that hours may also be reduced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Louvre Museum will also close early at 4:00 PM from Wednesday through Saturday, rather than its usual 6:00 PM closing time. Management stated that the historic building is insufficiently equipped for current climate changes and that high visitor volume during peak heat creates difficult conditions for staff and tourists alike. Paris remains under a red weather alert, with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
