Polish authorities convened an urgent meeting at the Ministry of Interior and Administration (MSWiA) to prepare for an anticipated heatwave. Minister Marcin Kierwiński led the discussions with representatives from various ministries, responding to forecasts from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW). Temperatures are predicted to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in cities, particularly in western Poland, later this week. The MSWiA has directed all relevant departments to immediately implement preventative measures. These actions aim to mitigate the impact of the extreme heat on the population and infrastructure. Officials are prioritizing public safety as the heatwave approaches, with further details on specific measures expected soon. The government is actively preparing for potential challenges related to health, energy, and essential services.
