The newspapers confirm that a heatwave of severe temperatures continues in Egypt, with warnings about the risk of heat exhaustion and urging people to seek immediate care. Health experts explained that heat exhaustion occurs due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially during physical activity, and can develop into heatstroke if not treated promptly. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, heavy sweating, fatigue, weakness, and elevated body temperature. It requires stopping activity, moving to a cool place, and rehydrating. Heatstroke, on the other hand, occurs when the body's temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), characterized by decreased sweating, dry skin, altered consciousness, and slowed circulation. It is a medical emergency that demands immediate medical intervention through body cooling and hospital transfer. Experts recommend preventive measures such as drinking plenty of water, avoiding direct sunlight between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m., and wearing lightweight, loose clothing—especially for the elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses—to prevent complications from the heatwave.
