Algeria’s national meteorology office has issued a new heatwave alert for several regions, following a period of extremely high temperatures. The alert, released Monday, warns of temperatures potentially reaching 45°C (113°F). Specifically, the wilayas (provinces) of Tlemcen, Sidi Bel Abbès, Mascara, Relizane, Chlef, and Aïn Defla are under the warning. This marks a continuation of intense heat already being experienced across the country as summer begins. Authorities have not yet detailed specific preventative measures, but residents in affected areas are advised to take precautions against heatstroke and dehydration. The alert underscores the increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves in the region.
