Po teple príde ešte extrémnejšie počasie. Zostaňte doma, varuje klimatológ Jozef Pecho | Aktuality.sk

Po teple prídu búrky, ochladenie a ešte horšia vlna horúčav, varuje klimatológ Jozef Pecho zo spoločnosti Gospace Labs. Na Česko už udreli aj desaťcentimetrové krúpy, príde zrejme aj prudký vietor. Zostať doma treba aj po búrke, nielen počas nej, čo dokazuje aj prípad úmrtia mladej olympioničky. Kedy sa máme pripraviť až na 45 stupňov? V teple sú podľa neho ľudia agresívnejší, spôsobujú viac autonehôd a vyššie teploty urýchľujú aj zomieranie starších a chorých ľudí. Prečo majú Apple zariadenia menej presnú predpoveď počasia ako Androidy?
