The National Environmental Agency has issued a stark warning to the population regarding the imminent dangers posed by soaring temperatures in Georgia.

Forecasters predict that high air temperatures will persist across the country until August 4, with some regions experiencing scorching highs of 38-40 degrees Celsius.

“The anticipated extreme heat significantly elevates the risk of heat stress and forest fires, which are currently classified as medium danger,” the Agency stated.
