Well-known Dubrovnik journalist, Vedran Benić, shared an incredible experience on social media that he had today as a consequence of the heat wave in Dubrovnik:

"By coincidence, today around noon, I walked from the bus to the bakery and then from the bus across Boninovo past the cemetery to home. Altogether, it was about 10 minutes, but enough for the upper rubber layer on the soles of my sandals to melt! (Made in Italy). I survived! The sandals did not! Never again will I make the same mistake until the red warning subsides!" said Benić, who will surely remember the episode with the 'melted' sandals for a long time.

"I usually don't go out in such heat, but today I went out for something and when I came back, I couldn't believe what I saw. If this wasn't a warning not to walk around in over 30 degrees, I don't know what is!" said Benić.
