With global temperatures hitting record highs, heat waves are no longer rare events — they’re becoming part of everyday life in many countries. But extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable; it’s dangerous.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can happen fast, especially in children, the elderly, and outdoor workers. Common signs include headache, dizziness, nausea, and confusion.
How to protect yourself?
✅ Stay hydrated — drink water, not sugary or alcoholic drinks.
✅ Stay indoors during peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM).
✅ Wear loose, light-colored clothes.
✅ Never leave kids or pets in cars, even for a minute.
Climate change means more heat waves are ahead. Staying informed and prepared can save lives.
