With temperatures climbing across Sindh, protecting yourself and your family from extreme heat is essential. Drink water regularly through the day, even before you feel thirsty, and avoid tea and sugary drinks that worsen dehydration. Stay indoors during the hottest hours, from late morning to mid-afternoon, and wear light, loose, pale clothing outdoors. Check on those most at risk — young children, the elderly, and anyone working outside. Know the signs of heatstroke: high body temperature, dizziness, confusion, a rapid pulse, or stopping sweating despite the heat. If someone shows these signs, move them to a cool place, loosen their clothing, cool the skin with water, and seek medical help without delay. A few simple habits can make the hottest days far safer.
