Doctors and health experts have urged residents to take precautions as the severe heat raises the risk of dehydration, fatigue and heatstroke. People are being advised to drink plenty of water and include fluids such as lemonade, buttermilk and electrolyte-rich drinks in their daily routine.
Wearing loose cotton clothing, covering the head outdoors and staying indoors during peak afternoon hours can help reduce exposure to the harsh weather. Experts also recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity during the hottest part of the day.
Anyone experiencing dizziness, vomiting, severe headache or unusual weakness should seek immediate medical attention. Weather specialists warn that if current conditions continue, the final weeks of May could become even more severe for the national capital.
