Apart from the heat, the south of the country is struggling with the drought and wildfires.
The national weather service has issued a heat alert for the whole country and many cities are put on the highest heat risk level, level 3-red, over the next few days.
In this period of torrid heat, a big increase may be registered in hospital emergency room arrivals. Therefore citizens, primarily those diagnosed with diseases, are advised to stay indoors or in air conditioning between between 10am and 5pm and open up homes at night if it cools down.
