Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. This can happen when the body overheats during a heat wave or in a hot climate. This potentially fatal condition is a result of prolonged heat exposure or physical exertion, when the body’s core temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius or higher. Heat stroke needs immediate first aid to lower body temperature as quickly as possible. If not, it can lead to organ damage and death.
Pagasa’s 50 degrees Celsius prediction is the highest in its five-day heat index monitoring that began on April 21, based on the forecast of its Science Garden station in Quezon City. Bloomberg said Thailand hit a national record of more than 45 degrees Celsius last week, while countries such as Bangladesh are also seeing April temperatures well above 40 degrees Celsius. “Record heat in Thailand, China and South Asia is a clear climate trend and will cause public health challenges for years to come,” said Fahad Saeed, an Islamabad-based scientist with Climate Analytics.
Heat stress is increasingly viewed as a significant issue worldwide as the planet warms due to human-made climate change. Experts say it can cause a wide range of health problems, including rashes, dehydration and heat stroke.
