According to the forecast of the Hydro-meteorological Institute of Kosovo / KEPA - MESPI, and according to the weather forecast these two days will be sunny and very hot weather.
This meteorological situation comes as a result of hot air masses coming from the northern part of Africa.
The UV index will remain very high and it is preferable to follow the advice of the NIPH, that from 9 am to 5 pm not to be exposed to direct sunlight.
Minimum forecast temperatures will range between 16-18 degrees Celsius, while daytime maximums forecast will range between 35-37 degrees Celsius.
High temperatures in the summer season, in addition to the
negative impacts on human health, significantly increase the possibility of
spreading forest fires, including forests in National Parks.

through the Directorate for Administration of NP "Sharri" and the Directorate
for Administration of NP "Bjeshkët e Nemuna", has increased
vigilance, preparedness, control and monitoring of the Parks territory.

with all relevant bodies has been increased.
