Life-threatening danger for infants, children and pets
High temperatures inside vehicles can become fatal within just a few minutes. Experts emphasize that children or animals should never be left inside a closed vehicle, even if parking lasts “only for a moment.”
70°C road surface at Omonia Square
During the first day of the heatwave, at 12:00 noon, the Up Stories drone recorded the road surface temperature at Omonia Square, with readings reaching 70 degrees Celsius.
This data shows that during prolonged heatwave conditions, surfaces in urban environments develop temperatures dangerous to human health, especially for vulnerable groups.
