Orange warning for high temperatures in San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Santa Lucía

 

With a low probability of slight haze at altitude, temperatures slightly rising, mainly in interior areas of the most mountainous islands. Temperatures may exceed 32ºC - 33ºC in midlands facing south of Gran Canaria and southeast of Fuerteventura. Moderate northeast wind, with some strong intervals on the southeast and northwest slopes of the most mountainous islands.

 

 

This orange notice is activated today, July 4, and will be extended until tomorrow, the 5th. The General Directorate of Public Health has already activated the relevant coordination protocols with city councils and health centers to avoid, as far as possible, the effects of the high temperatures on the health of citizens.

 

The institutions have also launched some recommendations for these hot days such as wearing light and breathable clothing, staying in cool and shaded places, having access to water and staying hydrated, avoiding alcoholic and sugary drinks and, above all, paying special attention to vulnerable people such as babies, children, the sick or the elderly.
