A spell of severe cold coupled with an air pollution episode is expected: the anticyclone has strengthened since this Sunday, bringing icy air (burian) from Russia.
According to forecasts, Tuesday and Wednesday should be the coldest days, and negative minimum temperatures are expected to be observed across the entire territory.
These negative temperatures can pose health risks: hypothermia (a drop in body temperature below 35°C), frostbite, worsening of potential cardiovascular risks…
For the coming days, Prevair, the central laboratory for air quality monitoring, forecasts moderate to fairly high levels of particulate concentrations.
During periods of severe cold, it is advisable to limit physical exertion even if you are in good health.
