Four levels of risk

The National Action Plan for Temperature Prevention has been presented on Wednesday and will be in force until September 14, although it could be extended for another 15 days. This plan divides Spain into 182 areas called "meteosalud" and sets the highest temperatures in the countryside of Seville (41.5 degrees), Córdoba (41.3 degrees) and Extremadura (41.3 degrees).

Based on this data and according to a decision algorithm, the plan distinguishes four levelsof risk : 0 (green), absence of risk; 1 (yellow), or low; 2 (orange), or medium; and finally 3 (red), high. These levels are associated with a series of activities aimed primarily atprotectingthe most vulnerable groups in the face of heat:  children and elderly, with chronic and pregnant diseases.

However, the Department of Health recalls that in order to combat the effects of extreme heat it is necessary to drink water frequently, even if you do not feel thirsty, and avoid drinks with caffeine, alcohol or excess sugars; to stay in cool places and reduce physical activity during the central hours of the day. It also stresses that medicines must be kept in cool places so that the heat does not alter their composition.
