Climate change has led to the number of hot days rising, and old, sick and pregnant women are particularly at risk, while healthy people are not immune from heat strokes, as the Tagesschau. Symptoms of heat creation can be sweating, faster pulse and headache. First aid, drinking half a liter with a teaspoon of salt. Preventive measures are more than advisable: drinking a lot, wearing airy clothes and ventilating in the cool evening.
The coming days are ideal for enjoying the beautiful Carinthian swimming lakes, but it is important to pay attention to your own health. The heat actions also require urban planning measures to alleviate the effects of increasing temperatures - a topic that is becoming more important not only in Austria, but worldwide.
