Stay informed, stay safe, and beat the heat!
Global temperatures are rising due to climate change, urbanization, and natural weather cycles. Heatwaves are becoming more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting across many regions of the world.
Understanding the causes and effects of extreme heat helps us prepare better and protect ourselves and our communities.
Drink water regularly—even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks.
Wear loose, light-colored clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen.
Avoid going outside between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun is strongest.
Use fans, close blinds during the day, and consider energy-efficient cooling methods.
If you or someone else shows signs of heat stroke, seek medical help immediately.
