Experts Highlight Risks of Warm Nights Amid Intensifying Heatwaves in India

As heatwaves intensify in India, experts highlight the growing issue of 'warm nights,' where nighttime temperatures remain unusually high, especially in urban areas due to climate change and the urban heat island effect. These conditions can disrupt sleep, increase dehydration risk, and strain the heart, particularly affecting vulnerable groups like the elderly and children. Health advice includes maintaining hydration with electrolyte-rich fluids, avoiding diuretics like caffeine and alcohol, and using traditional drinks to manage heat-related stress and improve sleep quality.
