The sudden oscillations of weather predispose the weather-sensitive people and persons suffering from hypertension to health problems. Contacted by IPN, doctor Luminita Suveica, former head of the Chisinau Health Division, said the sudden changes in weather can cause weakness, dizziness and headaches as well as chronic tiredness.

The negative effects are better felt when the difference in temperatures exceeds 4 degrees Celsius. The doctor said the elderly people and those suffering from cardiac diseases are the most predisposed to developing acute illnesses. The protection measures recommended by the doctor are to follow the indicated treatment and to eat as many fruit and vegetables as possible so as to get the necessary vitamins.

The State Hydrometeorology Service issued a yellow code advisory for hot weather for July 30-31. Temperatures on July 30 reached 35 degrees Celsius in parts. On July 31, they drooped to 22- 27 degrees.
