You Can Die From Extreme Heat. Here’s How And Why

Temperatures in the U.K. and across Europe were at their highest levels in decades on Friday,

as a heatwave gripped the continent and pushed temperatures toward record levels.

 

Temperatures broke records in London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt and other cities across Europe on Friday.

As of 7 p.m. local time (1 p.m. ET), London's Heathrow Airport had reached 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit), its hottest temperature since 1976.

 

In Germany, Frankfurt Airport saw its highest temperature ever recorded — 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) —

while Berlin reached 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit). The German Weather Service said it was "the hottest day in Central Europe since 1832."

 

The forecast for Saturday is even hotter: London is expected to hit 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit),

which would be its highest temperature ever recorded for June 30th.

 

We know it can be hard to stay cool when you're working outside,

especially if you're a food delivery rider or construction worker who works outside most of the day.
Some people try to drink water, take off some clothes, while others will just suffer in silence.

That's why we've put together a list of tips for staying safe during these extreme conditions.

 

However, the best idea that we can recommend is that we need to use a cooling vest or cooling towel to protect ourselves.

 

There are many kinds of cooling vest and cooling towels on the market. But, we can't tell which one is the best for you.

It's better for you to try these products before buying them.
