People pick up the fan and sell 70 percent more ice cream on the weekends. Lithuanians in particular are cooling off with a fruit, which sells 70 tons every day.

If the sun is still moderately warming now, the bodies of those warming in Lithuania will suffer much more serious damage in the coming days. Forecasters are warning of the next heat wave, which will last until the middle of next week. The heat is forecast to be around 30 degrees for more than a week, and it won’t be colder at night; The column of the thermometer can also display 22 degrees of heat.

Synoptics Simona Dalinkevičiūtė says: “Definitely those nights will be towards the tropics, so it will be difficult to go back to sleep, congested and we will look for some kind of refreshment”.

Climatologists predict that the month of July this year will exceed the perennial temperature of July by 2 degrees. Climatologists say that the difference of two degrees in terms of weather is a considerable anomaly, which is precisely why we have rain, splinters and hail. Therefore, thunderstorms or hail are likely to reoccur in places with rain. Well, it’s hard to predict whether the record for the hottest day of all time in Lithuania will be broken this July.

Climatologist Donatas Valiukas: “July 30 is an absolute record for temperature in Lithuania, when in Zarasai on July 30, 94 was 37.5 degrees.”

Doctors are preparing for the approaching heat. Unprotected people enter the emergency room due to severe burns. Others forget to drink water and go to the doctor after suffering a heat stroke.

Emergency doctor Andrius Černauskas says: “Don’t drink a lot of water at the same time, but drink 200-300 milliliters every half hour, every hour so that you don’t feel thirsty, because thirst already means that you need a liter and a half.”

Traders are also preparing for the influx of people. From the heat, people cool off not only with water, ice cream, which is sold 70 percent more on weekends, but also with watermelons. They are sold daily in quantities of nearly 12 African volunteers weighing 6,000 kilograms each.

Tom Basharov, a Maxima spokesman, said: “One of the most popular summer products is watermelons, and we estimate that, on average, around 70 tons of watermelons are sold in Maxima stores alone every day.”

True, there are other favorite ways to cool off.

“On hot days, you buy more kefir and sour milk than usual. Again, you can guess that Lithuanians are recovering from the heat by producing traditional cold borscht, because the sales of Lithuanian potatoes and cucumbers are also much higher. in those days, ”says T. Bašarovas.

Fans are also removed from store shelves, so merchants bought fans and air conditioners.

Žilvinas Kulvinskis, representative of Topo Centro, says: “In June, when it was a hot week, we sold more in it than during the whole of last year, and if you imagine it, it is 30 times the growth.”

The record and hottest July in the history of meteorological observations was recorded in 2010. The coldest July in Lithuania was in 79, when the monthly average temperature was only 14 degrees, and one day the temperature did not reach a degree .
