The temperatures in Bulgaria's Danube plain are expected to drop after they have recently reached their peaks for over a century now, meteorologists reported.

The safe haven in the region is to come on Tuesday, when rainfalls and even hails are expected to hit the Danube plain

Last week the mercury in the town of Belene zoomed up to 41,2C and in Veliko Tarnovo - to 39,9C.

The heat wave has overflowed also the Danube plain tows of Pleven, Lovech, Knezha and Vratsa, where the temperatures have not fallen below 37C.

Amidst the summer sizzling heat and the increased risk of accidents, employers of construction workers secretly introduced a practice unusual for this part of Europe - the siesta. The working day starts from 6 am till 11 am and is renewed during the night in breach of local legislation.

Office workers however will hardly be given a more refreshing option to sitting at stuffy desks.
