Feeling Hot? 🔥
We know how hot weather can affect your health.
Extreme heat can put real stress on your body, but a few simple steps can keep you safe and well.
Here are the things to watch out for:
1️⃣ Dehydration – Feeling dizzy, tired, or getting headaches? You might be low on fluids. Drink water regularly and avoid too much caffeine or sugary drinks.
2️⃣ Heat Exhaustion & Heatstroke – Weakness, nausea, or confusion can happen if you spend too long in the heat. Stay indoors or in shaded areas during peak hours (11am–4pm).
3️⃣ Health Conditions Can Worsen – Heart, lung, and kidney issues can become harder to manage. Check with your doctor if you’re unsure about medications or your heat tolerance.
4️⃣ Sunburn & Skin Damage – Long sun exposure can harm your skin. Use sunscreen, wear hats and sunglasses, and cover up where possible.
Community Tip: Look out for neighbours, children, and the elderly, they’re most vulnerable during heatwaves.
Stay hydrated, stay cool, and take care of yourself and your community! 💧☀️
