Extreme summer temperatures are becoming more common and more dangerous every year. While many people associate hot weather with dehydration and fatigue, prolonged exposure to intense heat can also seriously affect respiratory health and increase the risk of heat stroke. High temperatures combined with humidity, pollution, and poor air quality can place extra stress on the lungs and the body’s cooling system. Children, elderly individuals, outdoor workers, and people with existing respiratory conditions are especially vulnerable during heatwaves. Even healthy individuals may experience breathing difficulties, dizziness, exhaustion, or severe heat-related illness when exposed to extreme heat for long periods. Understanding what is heat stroke, recognizing heat stroke causes, and learning how hot weather affects respiratory health can help people stay protected during the summer season.
