Extreme heat with high humidity causing health issues
Suggested caption:
High heat and humidity can reduce the body’s ability to cool itself, leading to heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke. To protect yourself during extreme heat events, stay in air-conditioned areas, drink lots of water, avoid outdoor activity during peak heat hours, and wear light clothing if you must be outside.
