Heatstroke: What is it, how does it occur, and how to prevent it?

[KhunLA]

Be careful out there, shade, when strolling around, bring your own/umbrella, as knocks the temp down a few degrees off you.

 

Stay hydrated, and limit you time outdoors.  Don't be a CC, turn the AC on...

Hot out there....

.... How hot .... DAMN HOT

 

Actually not feeling like 51°C in the shade with breeze and almost comfy...almost.

 

In the house, just back for out this afternoon, and now, 32°C temp outside, with 26.7°C in bedroom, AC was on while out.

 

Non AC'd room, temp 27.4°C, and main difference, beside <1°C, the RH - 15% more, and AC's air purifier working.

Stay out of the direct sunlight, stay in a well ventilated area and drink lots of fluids [preferably healthy ones]

I stay indoors during the heat of the day with a wall fan blowing on me.

 

I use sachets of Oral Hydration Salts in a powdered form. I pay 5 baht a sachet OTC at the local pharmacy mixed with 750 ml cold water. I am up to 3 or 4 a day now and they seem to work for me.
