“Heat can be deadly; prevention is vital”

The Balearic Government has launched a new awareness campaign in response to high temperatures and possible heatwaves that could affect Ibiza, Formentera and the rest of the archipelago this summer.

The campaign aims to share key recommendations with the public to avoid risks linked to extreme heat and prevent emergency situations.

Among its main recommendations, the Govern advises avoiding physical and sporting activity between midday and 4pm, seeking shade, covering your head, wearing light clothing, drinking plenty of water even when you are not thirsty, eating light meals, using sun protection even when not in direct sunlight, and closing blinds and windows during the hottest hours of the day.
