VečerIndependent🔒CenterFactual 92Objective 7213 days ago Near record highs: Fever will only escalate, emergency doctor warns that younger people are increasingly seeking helpSlovenia is experiencing an intense heatwave expected to last several days, with temperatures predicted to exceed 35°C in many areas and approach record highs by late June. Meteorologists suggest this could be one of the most severe heatwaves since 2022, which was marked by prolonged drought, wildfires on the Kras peninsula, and extreme temperatures. The heatwave affects much of southern and western Europe, including Italy, Spain, France, and the Balkans, where temperatures may surpass 40°C. Experts warn that such heatwaves are becoming more frequent due to climate change, impacting health, infrastructure, agriculture, and water supply. Authorities advise caution with open fires and physical exertion during high temperatures, while night-time temperatures are also expected to remain above 20°C, leading to 'tropical nights' that strain the body. Additionally, increased traffic is anticipated due to the end of the school year and summer holidays, particularly on major highways like the A1 and A2.

DnevnikIndependent🔒CenterFactual 80Objective 754 days ago Piki kač na velikih višinah: na Mount Everestu se je pojavila nova nevarnostThe article reports on a growing health crisis caused by venomous snakes, including king cobras, moving higher into mountainous regions due to climate change. Hospitals near Mount Everest are experiencing a surge in snakebite cases, forcing them to prepare for emergency treatments previously limited to lower elevation areas. Doctors at Sotang Hospital, which serves residents above 2,000 meters, report approximately 30 patients seeking treatment for snakebites since April 14th, with two requiring specialized care in Kathmandu. The issue is linked to global warming, which has created more favorable conditions for snakes to survive at higher altitudes. Nepal is warming nearly twice as fast as the global average, and increased human activity and environmental changes are contributing to this trend. Experts warn that snakebite incidents are no longer confined to lowland areas, highlighting a neglected public health challenge where many fatalities occur before victims reach medical facilities.
