8 Tips To Beat The Heat During Extreme Heatwaves

During these hot summer days, the scorching heat and high humidity can be quite intense.

To stay safe and comfortable, PIB India has shared some helpful tips to Beat the Heat. Let's take a closer look at them:

Avoid direct sunlight by staying in the shade whenever you are outdoors, whether it is at home or in the office.

The period between 11 am and 4 pm is when the sun is at its strongest. It is best to limit outdoor activities during these hours to prevent heat exposure.

Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration during this hot weather.

When venturing outside, protect yourself from the sun by wearing headgear like hats or caps.

If someone experiences a heatstroke, cool them down with ice packs or cold water and seek medical attention promptly.

Keep electrolyte water handy when you are out. It helps replenish essential salts and sugars lost through sweating.

Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illnesses, so it is important to keep them indoors during extreme heat.

Remember to keep water outside your home for animals and birds to ensure they stay hydrated during hot days.
