Heatwave sweeps nation: IMD's safety recommendations

IMD has reported that heatwave conditions are affecting large parts of the country, urging everyone to take basic precautions as temperatures soar. Their main advice? Drink plenty of water, dress smartly, and try to avoid the sun during peak hours—especially if you're outdoors a lot or part of a vulnerable group.

TL;DR

Key advice to beat the heat

Stick to at least eight glasses of water daily, and skip alcohol, caffeine, or sugary drinks since they can dehydrate you faster. Go for light-colored, loose clothes made from cotton or linen. If you have to be outside, try not to head out between 11am and 4pm. And if you start feeling dizzy or sick, don't ignore it—get help right away.
