India is one of the world's most "heat-stressed" countries, and rising temperatures will only make things worse for those who work outside. In India, heatwaves are common in the spring and early summer, particularly in May, which is the hottest month. It's a period of unusually hot weather, often accompanied by high humidity. The number of spring heat waves is on the rise. Extreme heat can be hazardous to one's health, even fatal.

"Weakness, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps, nausea, heavy sweating, and intense thirst are all common symptoms." Heatstroke, in which the body is unable to cool itself, is a more serious consequence of hot weather. The person's body temperature rises dangerously high in this situation.

Keep yourself hydrated at all times to protect yourself from heat waves. Consume cold & hydrating foods, Take a cool shower every day, Wear light, loose-fitting clothing, Utilize shade by using hats and umbrellas, Make sure to get enough rest, Avoid hot beverages and spicy foods, and most importantly, stay out of the sun, especially between the hours of 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.
