Experts point out that these conditions not only disrupt daily life but also pose serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations like the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.

Authorities across affected areas are urging residents to stay hydrated, seek shade, and remain indoors during peak heat to mitigate potential health issues.
