A new spurt of heatwave will affect Romania. Meteorologists have issued a Code Yellow warning of heatwave and thermal discomfort for several counties of the country, which will be in effect until Wednesday morning.
“During Monday, in most of Oltenia, Muntenia and locally in continental Dobrogea, high temperatures will be recorded for this date, and the maximums will generally be between 33 and 35 degrees”, the National Meteorology Administration (ANM) said on Monday.
Locally there will be heatwave and high thermal discomfort, the temperature-humidity index (ITU) being around 80 units. During Tuesday, the yellow code will be extended.
“In Oltenia, Banat, the south-west of Transylvania and in most of Muntenia, high temperatures will be recorded for this date, the maximums will generally be between 32 and 35 degrees and it will be hot locally. Thermal discomfort will be high, with the temperature-humidity index (ITU) reaching and slightly exceeding the critical threshold of 80 units”, ANM also informed.
