Meteorologists issued a Code Yellow of heat. Between July 1 and 6 the country’s weather may heat up to +33 degrees Celsius, and there is exceptional danger of wildfires, reports Info-Prim Neo. Victoria Moisei, coordinating engineer at National Weather Forecasts Center, says that it is possible that the temperatures go even higher. The specialist specified that in July the temperatures will be slightly above the norm. Isolated showers are expected on July 4 and 5. Because of the high temperatures, there is a high risk of fire. In such weather conditions, imprudence in using open fire may lead to wildfires. According to the National Weather Service, after 5 years, a new record of heat was established last week. The weather station in Falesti had registered +35 degrees Celsius.
