A heatwave is prolonged extreme heat that can affect your body quickly. Knowing the risks early helps you stay safe and avoid serious health issues.

Watch for dizziness, headache, sweating, fatigue, nausea, and dehydration. These are early signs that your body is struggling with excessive heat.

Confusion, fainting, high body temperature, and no sweating can signal heatstroke. This is a medical emergency and needs immediate attention.

Stay hydrated, wear light clothes, avoid peak sun hours, and rest often. Use shade, fans, or AC to keep your body cool and protected.

Drink water regularly, eat light meals, and never ignore symptoms. Take care of kids and the elderly—they’re more vulnerable to heatwaves.
