With the rising temperatures due to El Niño, people are now more prone to heat stroke. It is a health condition in which the body temperature reaches 40°C or higher. Symptoms include flushed skin, increased heart rate, rapid and shallow breathing, nausea, and even seizures.

To avoid having heat stroke, one should stay away from prolonged sun exposure. Wearing of loose, light clothing and a wide-brimmed hat or cap when outdoors and keeping oneself hydrated are advisable.
