⚠️ *Important Alert for Citizens and Residents from the Civil Defense Department:*
By Allah's will, the intensity of the heat is expected to increase significantly in most areas of the country in the coming days, with temperatures potentially reaching *47°C to 55°C*.
Additionally, humid and suffocating cloud cover will persist. In this situation, it is mandatory to follow these guidelines:
# # # 🔴 Essential Vehicle Precautions:
Immediately remove the following items from your vehicles:
1. All types of gas-contained items.

3. Carbonated drinks (glass bottles or aluminum cans).
4. Attar (perfume oils), perfumes, and batteries of all types of electronic devices.
