A new high temperature alert system will be implemented starting next week.

Beginning on the 15th, the Central Weather Bureau will issue alerts on a
three-tiered system.

A yellow alert is for temperatures of 36 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures reaching 38 degrees, or 3 consecutive days of 36 degrees will
trigger an orange warning,

And 3 consecutive days of 38 degrees will result in a red alert.

The high temperature alerts will be visible on the Central Weather Bureau
website or app.

Officials say these alerts should serve as a reminder to the public to limit
outdoor activity and stay hydrated.    [SOURCE]
