Precautions To Be Taken During Heat Wave
Heat waves can kill; they are deadly! Well, what's a heat wave? It is nothing but excessive heat in the atmosphere for long periods of time.
The temperatures may go way beyond the average-maximum temperature of a particular place when it gets affected by the heat wave. Sometimes, heat waves come with both heat and humidity and this can make things worse.
In fact, heat waves kill more people than other natural calamities. Rising temperatures can be life threatening especially to children and aged people. Also, those whose work involves spending time outdoors are at the risk of suffering heat stroke during heat waves.
12 Natural Ways To Stay Cool This Summer
Heat illness may cause dehydration, muscle cramps, dizziness, fatigue and nausea. If such symptoms are ignored then a heat stroke may occur which could be deadly.
So, let us discuss how to survive a heatwave.
Cooling Systems
It is important to know how to keep your house cool during heat wave. And staying indoors is very important when the climate is too hot.
Fluids
Fluids take the first place. One of the most important precautions to be taken during heat wave is to avoid dehydration by drinking enough water.
Clothing
Wearing cotton clothes and carrying an umbrella or a hat would help protect your head from the extreme heat.
Sunscreen
Wear sunscreen all the time. Never even attempt to go without sunscreen during heat wave.
Going Outdoors
Plan your outdoor visits either during the mornings or late evenings. Going out during the noon should be totally avoided.
Windows
If you wish to open the windows in your home, do it only during the night and keep them open only till early mornings.
Activity
Stay away from strenuous physical activities like exercises. It is not safe to heat up your body internally when the external heat is too much.
Heat
Electric and electronic appliances in your home may also generate heat. Also, cooking may generate heat indoors. Try to avoid using appliances as much as possible to minimise indoor heat.
Shower
Soak your feet in cold water or take a shower whenever your body finds it difficult to manage the heat.
Stay Down
If you are staying in a multi storied building then stay in the ground floor as the upper floors tend to be hotter than the ground floor. Hot air tends to rise up and heat up the upper floors.
