Code yellow for potentially dangerous weather has been declared for most of Bulgaria Saturday, over extremely hot weather.

The code is valid for 17 of Bulgaria's 28 regions, predominantly in the south and north, where temperatures are expected to reach 35 degrees C and beyond.

Citizens are reminded to refrain from going out, if possible, especially during the early afternoon, and to bring water with them to fend the negative effects of summer heat.

The national weather service at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences recall that code yellow means that the weather is not out of the ordinary, but people should exercise caution.
