The National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senamhi) has issued a red alert for an extreme heat wave that will be in effect until August 10. Temperatures in some regions, including Lima, could reach 37 °C during this period.

The agency warns of increased radiation levels and suggests taking special precautions, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, elderly people, and those with chronic illnesses.

This alert covers 16 regions of the country, where intense heat conditions are expected to intensify and require attention. The public is urged to stay informed about recommendations and potential impacts of the extreme heat.
