📌 How to Cope with Symptoms
• Dizziness/Headache → Move to a cool place immediately
• Heavy Sweating → Drink sports drinks (electrolytes)
• Routine Outings → Take a sip of water every 15~20 mins
• Outdoor work or intense exercise: Sports drinks
• Coffee/Green tea act as diuretics; not suitable for hydration
• Crucial to drink BEFORE feeling thirsty
• Lukewarm water (10~15℃) absorbs faster than ice-cold water
• Carry a UV-blocking umbrella or hat if you must go out
• Wear loose, light-colored cotton clothes for ventilation
☀️ Smart Health Management by Temp & Humidity
Managing your health should differ between days that are just hot versus days with both high heat and high humidity. When humidity tops 80%, the human body cannot effectively cool down by evaporating sweat.
In this Korean summer weather, you can easily get exhausted even in the shade, and your body's hydration depletes rapidly. It is crucial to check the real-time temperature and humidity of your current location via the local weather widget and follow the hydration guide.
Since seniors, children, and those with chronic conditions are especially vulnerable to heat illness, it is highly recommended to set hydration and rest alarms to maintain your health during the extreme summer season.
