“It is getting worse each day. I am running away from it (the heat) by walking in the shades. I work at night, so I am forced to come out during the day, otherwise I would not be going out in this heat. So I tend to come out in the morning, or late afternoon. People have to stay hydrated, keep away from fatty food, and not to be in rush anywhere. Nature is the most important.”

14. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Nejra Jonuz Guso, chief doctor at Sarajevo emergency service:
“There is an increased number of patients coming, as we had this sudden rise in temperatures. We will have to get used to these kind of summers. Climate change brings summers increasingly hotter than usual, but our problem is that we don’t have gradual increase of temperatures, our temperatures sky rocket from 18 one day to 38 degrees next day. Every organism needs time to adapt to this, so I think in next few days we will adapt to high temperatures. Its always a problem, sudden change, an organism does not have time to get accustomed to new circumstances. So people who usually have blood circulation and breathing problems, their blood vessels can’t bear it and they are always among the first patients coming when the heat starts. Healthy people less.”

17. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Bakir Krajinovic, meteorologist at Bosnian meteorology office:
“Year 2025 is evidence that extreme weather is present in our country. We are going through the driest month of June in the history of this country, and I believe by the end of this day we will exceed the record temperatures ever recorded for month of June.”

STORYLINE:
Bosnia faced a third day of scorching heat on Thursday with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in parts of the country.
Officials have warned people to stay indoors during peak hours, between 1100-1700 local time.
Bosnia’s Meteorology Office said the country is experiencing the driest June in history, with almost no rainfall during the whole month.
Thursday could become the hottest June day recorded in history in Bosnia, Bakir Krajinovi of the Bosnian meteorology office said.
Weather experts blame the climate change, which is bringing unusually hot African air into the Balkans during summer months.
This has been the case for the past 10 years, while previously summers were mild with maximum temperatures of 30-35 degrees Celsius (86-95 Fahrenheit).
Chief doctor at Sarajevo’s emergency service, Nejra Jonuz Guso, said patients with poor blood circulation and breathing difficulties are among the most frequent callers of the ambulance services during heatwaves.
Forecasts show the next few days will bring some relief, as temperatures are expected to drop to below 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit).
