\nThe heatwave will persist in Romania in the coming days. A yellow code warning
\nwas issued for heat and a high temperature-humidity index until Thursday, in
\nthe centre, east and west of the country. The temperature-humidity index is expected
\nto pass the critical level 80, causing extreme discomfort, while the highs are
\nforecast at between 33 and 37 degrees Celsius. An amber code for rising heat

\nThe river flow of the river Danube on the Romanian section will drop in the
\ncoming days to 1,850 cubic metres per second, which is three times below the
\nJuly average of 5,350, according to a report published by hydrologists. Initial
\nforecasts did not expect this level to drop below 2,500. The river flows of
\ndomestic rivers will remain relatively stable. The Danube’s river flow dropped
\nbecause of the drought and excessively high temperatures. The water reserve in
\nthe 40 largest reservoir lakes in the country decreased compared with two weeks
\nago to 3.3 billion cubic metres. Suppliers are imposing restrictions on the
\namount of water delivered so as to have time to refill their reserves. The
\nlocal authorities and the County Inspectorates for Emergency Situations have
\nprovided assistance to the population in the areas worst-hit by the drought,
\nespecially in small towns and villages in eastern Romania, to ensure their
\nsupplies of drinking water and water for the livestock. <\/p>\n

\nIn a statement on Romanian Border Police Day, prime minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103 said
\nthe fact that the latest report on the state of the Schengen area urges the
\nEuropean Council to adopt decisions allowing Romania to join this passport-free
\narea is recognition of the efforts made by this country to secure its borders. Ciuc\u0103
\nalso said that the last few years have been a challenge for the border police
\npersonnel, who have had to deal with unusually high border flows as a result of
\nthe pandemic and, especially the Russian aggression against Ukraine. He added
\nthat the government will continue efforts to secure the country’s borders in
\nkeeping with the commitments made by Romania as a member of the European Union
\nand as a candidate to join the Schengen area. <\/p>\n
