The heat is making it more likely that you will have a heat stroke. The Ministry of Health can tell you how to recognize it and what to do if it happens.

Heat stroke can cause confusion, disorientation, headaches, and a fast heartbeat.

To avoid it, just follow these recommendations:

– During the hottest hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), try to avoid direct sunlight and spend time in the shade or indoors. It’s also a good idea to avoid physical activity during this time.

– Keep the room cool by opening the windows at night and closing them during the day. You can also hang a reflective film.

– Try taking a cool shower more often.

– It’s a good idea to drink water or other drinks without sugar and caffeine, even if you don’t feel thirsty. And it’s probably best to avoid alcohol.

– Dress in light, loose-fitting clothes made of natural fabrics.

Don’t leave kids or pets in cars, even with air conditioning. If you see a child alone in a car, call the police and an ambulance.

If heat stroke does occur, follow the tips below:

– Move or transport the victim to a cool place.

– Normalize the person’s body temperature by wrapping them in cool, damp towels and ice packs.

-Drink water, but in small portions.

– Monitor the victim’s condition, such as breathing, pulse, and consciousness, until the ambulance arrives.
