Earlier this week, the maximum temperatures reached between 42-45 °C in Odisha and Rayalaseema. Similar conditions were observed in some parts of Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, southwest Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Yanam. In other words, the temperatures ranged between 40-42 °C in many parts of Bihar, East Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, as well as isolated pockets in East Uttar Pradesh. Let's have a look at the tips to protect ourselves from the heatwaves this summer.
1. One of the most important ways to stay cool during a heatwave is to drink plenty of water. Dehydration can set in quickly, so it’s important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.
2. Avoid drinks with caffeine, such as tea and coffee, which can worsen dehydration. Alcohol can also cause dehydration, so it’s important to avoid alcohol as well.
3. Another important way to stay cool during a heatwave is to stay out of the sun. The sun can be very harmful during the heatwaves, so it’s important to limit exposure to the sun. You can also wear a hat and sunglasses to help protect you from the sun.
4. It’s also important to dress in light, loose-fitting clothing. When temperatures are high, it’s important to avoid wearing too much clothing and to make sure your clothes are light and loose.
5. Finally, it’s important to take a cold shower after exercise. A cold shower can help cool you down and relieve some of the stress you’ve been feeling.
