High temperatures combined with elevated humidity can increase the risk of heat-related illness, especially for older adults, young children, people with chronic medical conditions, and those working or exercising outdoors.
A few simple steps can help you stay safe:
💧 Drink water regularly, even before you feel thirsty.
🌳 Limit strenuous outdoor activity and take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
👕 Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.
☎️ Check in on family, friends, and neighbours who may be more vulnerable.
🚗 Never leave children or pets unattended in a parked vehicle.
Taking precautions now can help prevent heat-related emergencies later.
