Miami is
considered a paradise for its thousands of qualities, including its good
weather full of sunny days and high temperatures, but this fall, its record has
been beaten; it's been 61 years since such a hot November. A temperature of
91°F was recorded at the beginning of the month, surpassing the 1958
temperature of 89°F.
To avoid the
heatstroke that hits the state of the sun, Miami Riches has prepared a guide on
how to prevent and what to do at the moment of suffering a heat stroke.
Heatstroke
is caused by excess heat in the body, usually as a result of prolonged exposure
to high temperatures or physical exertion at high temperatures. It is the most
serious form of heat injury and can occur if the body temperature reaches 104°F
or higher.
Some of the
signs and symptoms of heatstroke are:
- High body temperature.
- Altered mental or behavioral status.
- Altered sweating.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Flushed skin.
- Accelerated breathing.
- Rapid heart rate.
- Headache.
