To prevent heatstroke, the Ministry of Health has issued a set of guidelines. They urge the general public, especially the elderly and people suffering from chronic illnesses, to take precautions such as minimizing sun exposure, avoiding unnecessary physical exertion, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and seeking shelter in air-conditioned environments whenever possible.

Wtf are you talking about
Will exceed triple digit is already wrong because we don't use Fahrenheit. Then have you been living in a cave with no way to measure the 34c average or so that has been going in Israel for a while now? Living in some sort of illusion you are

Not much different from what we had in Montreal+Toronto
Close all your blinds to keep the heat out. Even a simple fan will keep you cool.

And what will do the electricity’s company? Cut the electricity? Because they don’t have another solution?
