He specified that these data, despite the fact that they are the most recent, do not yet have updates due to the handling of statistics, for which reason he considered that there will be an increase in the damage to health caused by this heat wave.
Given this, he recommended that some preventive measures be taken, such as covering up with hats, using sunscreen, hydrating with at least two liters of water, and avoiding direct sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
In Hidalgo the temperatures will reach 40 degrees this day in Huejutla and 30 in Pachuca.
