🌡️ Heat Index Reaches ‘Caution Level’ Across Multiple Provinces in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

⭕️ The heat index (the temperature felt by the human body) is likely to reach the ‘Caution level’ in some areas of the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Eastern, North-Western, Northern, and North-Central provinces, as well as in the Monaragala district.

⭕️ The heat index is a crucial indicator of heat stress. It shows how hot it feels to the human body by considering both air temperature and relative humidity.

⭕️ It is imperative to take necessary precautions, especially during outdoor activities, to avoid heat exhaustion or heatstroke, which can be life-threatening in such extreme conditions.

🥤 Stay safe by keeping hydrated and cool. Drink water-rich beverages with essential minerals such as king coconut water, fresh orange juice, or Jeewani. Wear loose, light-colored clothing and avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours.
