As Temperature Soars High, Here’s How You Can Beat the Heat

On 3 June, the government issued a health advisory to help the country battle with the heatwave.

With temperatures soaring past 45° Celsius and the heat leading to deaths across north and west India, how do you protect yourself? Is sunscreen with SPF 50, 100 or more enough? Will a cap and an umbrella do? Not quite!

If your core body temperature rises above 42° Celsius, you’ve got a heatstroke! And we’re not trying to scare you, but a perfectly healthy person can die of a heatstroke.

So beat the summer and don’t let it be the other way round. Stay hydrated – pani piyo aur jiyo!
