“One of the reasons is the supermarket chains. The temperatures are very low there, people enter, cool down, then go outside and collapse as a result of the large differences between the temperatures outside and inside”, explained Sungarska.
She advises citizens to wear light-colored clothes, have a bottle of water with them, not to consume iced drinks, to refrain from going out during the hottest hours of the day, and not to overdo it with alcohol.
