When outside temperatures climb into the triple digits (over 40?C) for a period of several days or even weeks, this prolonged period of excessive heat is known as a "heat wave". Heat waves are often accompanied by high humidity.<sup id="_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup> While there is also no universal definition of a heat wave, (as people used to a hot climate may already be acclimatized to a period of high heat, whereas the same heat visited on people in a usually cooler climate can cause severe disruption and heat deaths due to people not knowing what to do to minimize the risks),<sup id="_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> the real issue is the health and safety impact of prolonged heat and high humidity.
Notorious for causing widespread power outages, hundreds of heat-related illnesses, and even deaths, heat waves are perfectly survivable provided you take appropriate precautions. In general, our ability to regulate high temperatures is impacted by our health, age, and the quality of our shelter. This article is aimed at helping you to cope when the summer heat takes a turn for the worse.
