There's no better year to talk about Climate Change than in 2024!
People are really underestimating the dangers of extreme heatwave.
This month, record heat indexes scorch Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
During extreme heat it is easy to become dehydrated or for your body to overheat.
Heat can cause serious and potentially fatal health problems such as heat exhaustion, heatstroke, heart attack, stroke, or even worsen existing medical conditions.
Extreme heat can affect anybody. Those in great danger are babies, school children, older people, and the people exercising or working outdoors like farmers, etc.
Here's a summary of a few things you can do to stay safe from extreme heat:
✓Keep cool, use air conditioning/fan, wear light and loose-fitting clothing, keep your skin wet, and take cool showers.
✓Stay hydrated during days of extreme heat, keep drinking water before you even feel thirsty, especially if outdoors or performing physical activity.
✓Plan ahead, cancel or reschedule activities for the coolest part of the day and avoid exercising and being outdoors in the heat for longer hours.
✓Check in with others. Let family, friends and neighbours know you are OK or check in with those at increased risk or who may need your help during days of extreme heat.
✓Monitor the weather forecast, warnings and meteorological news.
