Really serious then. Just you be careful.

in reply to Wonderboy6

They only make these announcements if things are really serious

in reply to Wonderboy6

This is the first time they have had to make an announcement like this one though so guess they are expected a long spell of excessive heat

It’ll be a public health announcement , plus with hospital dealing with covid they will be trying to keep emergencies low

in reply to Maggie_Mae

And yes guess so but they have opened up the old hospital to deal with the heat cases something not even done during the covid so definitely worrying sounds

Maggie_Mae profile image
Maggie_Mae in reply to

Probably to isolate covid & non covid .. it’s done for infection control

in reply to Maggie_Mae

The old hospital will only treat cases heat related and will have minimal staff

...." WARM SHOWERS " ...IN THIS HEAT ...?

in reply to vittorio

That's what the Greek government says you should have not cold ones , they didn't say anything about putting two bags of ice on the shower floor and sitting in it though 😂😂😂

Thepainterswife profile image
Thepainterswife in reply to

I think the theory is that if your body temperature is very high the shock of cold water will kill you but look on the bright side , at least you get to choose 😬. Seriously, Is it any cooler now ? Is there any indication of how long the ridiculous temperatures are going to last ?

in reply to Thepainterswife

No idea and it's still 42 now and it is ten in the evening
