The Royal Meteorological Institute - KMI - IRM announces code red for heat in West Flanders and Hainaut for Tuesday. On Tuesday in those two provinces there is at least a 65 percent chance that it will be 40 degrees and that in at least a quarter of the surface of West Flanders and Hainaut. Code red means that certain measures must be taken. For example, people have to drink a lot and keep their salt levels up. In addition, they should also rest a lot, stay in a cooled room, avoid direct sunlight and use damp cloths in case of dehydration, according to the website of the RMI. In the rest of the country, code orange applies on Tuesday, just like Monday...BELGA PHOTO NICOLAS MAETERLINCK.
