To prevent the effects of sweltering weather, Pagasa said the public must limit time spent outdoors; drink plenty of water; avoid tea, coffee, soda, and liquor; use umbrellas, wear hats, and wear sleeved clothing outdoors; and schedule heavy-duty activities on the cooler periods of the day.
It added that symptoms of heat-related illnesses include heavy sweating, exhaustion or fatigue, dizziness or lightheadedness, blacking out or feeling dizzy when standing, a weak but fast pulse, nausea and vomiting.
In cases of emergency, Pagasa advises the following:
Move the person to a shady spot and lie him or her down with legs elevated.
If conscious, have the person sip cool water.
Remove clothing. Apply cool water to the skin and provide ventilation.
Apply ice packs to the armpits, wrists, ankles and groin.
If the person’s condition worsens, bring him/her to a hospital immediately.
