Health experts are warning residents to take precautions as temperatures remain unusually high across many areas. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and in severe cases, heatstroke.
Doctors say they are seeing more complaints of dizziness, excessive sweating, fatigue, headaches, and weakness — common signs that the body is struggling with heat.
What You Must Do to Stay Safe
Drink More Water
Do not wait until you feel thirsty. Drink water regularly throughout the day to prevent dehydration.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Stay indoors during the hottest part of the day, especially between noon and 4pm.
Wear Light Clothing
Choose loose, breathable, light-colored clothes to help your body stay cool.
Eat Light and Fresh Foods
Fruits and vegetables with high water content can help keep you hydrated.
Rest When Necessary
Avoid overworking yourself under the sun. Take breaks and stay in shaded or cool areas.
Health professionals advise anyone experiencing fainting, confusion, or unusually high body temperature to seek medical attention immediately.
As the hot season continues, experts emphasize that simple daily precautions can protect lives and prevent serious health complications.
