These conditions can lead to dehydration, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and even death in extreme cases.

Heat stress can occur when the body is unable to regulate its temperature, leading to various health issues. Please find below small tips to avoid heat stress during this period. Keep safe!

THE CONVERSATION (UK) Hot weather can be hard on the body – and may even worsen some health conditions June 25, 2024 5.40pm CEST The current weather forecast suggests summer might finally have arrived, as the UK’s first heat health alert of the year has been issued. While many may be rejoicing after the UK’s miserable spring, it’s worth remembering that hot temperatures can be dangerous. Heat stroke is a risk for anyone – though the elderly and people with underlying health conditions are particularly at risk. Certain health conditions can also be made worse when it’s hot outside. So if you’re someone who has a heart, lung, kidney or metabolic condition, it’s worth being extra careful during the hot weather. To protect yourself, the best things to do are staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, drinking plenty of fluids (not alcohol) to replace what’s lost as sweat, putting your feet in a bucket of cold water (or lukewarm shower if you prefer) and a cool flannel on the forehead or back of the neck. This all reduces the temperature of your blood when it goes back to the central organs, helping to reduce their core temperature and dissipate heat away from them.
