It's crucial to take care of your health in this severe heat. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. When you step out, cover your head and wear light-coloured clothes. Avoid going outside between 12 PM and 4 PM, as this is the most dangerous time. Children, the elderly, and sick people need special attention. Drinking ORS, buttermilk, and lemon water can help you beat the heat.
