Climate Center Warning on Noon Sun Exposure
Dr. Mohammad Ali Fahim, head of the Climate Change Information Center at the Ministry of Agriculture, warned of the dangers of direct exposure to the sun during peak hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., especially with the severe heatwave the country is experiencing. He explained that rising temperatures combined with humidity increase the body's heat load, raising the risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, particularly among children, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, and outdoor workers. Preventive measures include avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours, drinking adequate amounts of water, wearing loose, light-colored clothing, and avoiding leaving children and the elderly inside closed cars. He also emphasized the importance of recognizing symptoms of heat exhaustion such as headache, dizziness, and nausea, and taking immediate action to treat affected individuals or hospitalizing them if symptoms persist or if they lose consciousness. Adhering to these preventive guidelines is essential to reduce health risks associated with the current heatwave.
