Meteorologists warn that on Monday and Tuesday the weather remains warm, local scorcher in south of the country, where temperatures will be of 35-37 degrees.
According to a report submitted by National Administration of Meteorology, on Monday and Tuesday there will be temporarily atmospheric instability further to the West, the Southwest and the mountains.
Temperature-humidity index will reach the critical threshold of 80.
Thermal comfort index is an index that relates to relative humidity air temperature to determine the apparent temperature, the one felt by the human body.
Normally, the body cools through sweating, the process in which water evaporates, and as a result the heat of your body falls.
When the relative humidity is high, the water evaporation rate is reduced.
This means a slower cooling of the body which retains more heat than they would do in dry air.
The Capital and Iaşi, Vaslui, Galaţi, Brăila, Tulcea, Constanţa, Călăraşi, Ialomiţa, Ilfov, Giurgiu, Teleorman, Olt, Dâmboviţa, Mehedinţi, Vrancea, Buzău, Prahova, Dâmboviţa, Argeş, Vâlcea and Gorj counties are, on Sunday, in the yellow code warning sweat.
Meteorologists have noted that in the second part of the week the warm weather will be maintained, scorcher local especially in the southern regions.
