Heatwaves also affect our pets. In the case of dogs, if the animal reaches 42 °C it can suffer irreparable damage and even die. To avoid putting them in danger, it is recommended to avoid physical activity, to have clean and fresh water available, and to seek shade and places with air currents. But, above all, it must be taken into account that, according to veterinarian Biel Puigserver, leaving the dog inside the car is a "death sentence".

The Mallorca Firefighters carried out three rescue operations this Wednesday in different parts of the island to assist two hikers and a cyclist who had suffered heatstroke or falls while practicing outdoor activities.

The Minister of Labor, Public Function and Social Dialogue, Catalina Cabrer, has asked Aena to reopen the canteen at Palma airport so that it can function as a climate shelter for workers. The request is part of the prevention campaign against high temperatures launched this summer by the Balearic Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (Ibassal). Regarding Son Sant Joan, the Executive has also established communication channels between Aena and ground service companieswith the objective of responding to the problems derived from working conditions during heat episodes.
