    NEW DELHI: A significant early summer heat storm has claimed the lives of a number of visitors in Greece, highlighting the serious risks posed by intense heat. After hiking in the sweltering heat on the Greek area of Symi, Michael Mosley, a well-known UK doctor and TV broadcaster, was discovered dead earlier this month. As temperatures soar above 40 degrees Celsius ( 104 degrees Fahrenheit ), his death is just one of many in a dreadful series of events.
    Here are some frequently asked questions about the heat wave in Greece.
    What is happening in Greece?
    Greece is experiencing a significant first summer heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Fahrenheit ( 104 degrees Fahrenheit ). This has coincided with a series of holiday murders and disappearances, especially among those hiking in higher temps.
    Who are the patients?
    Michael Mosley, a British TV broadcaster, and a number of other visitors from the Netherlands and the United States are significant patients. Two European women are currently missing. When they last saw the survivors, they were all walking or hiking.
    ” There is a common design”, Petros Vassilakis, the police spokeswoman for the Southern Aegean, told Reuters,” they all went for a climb amid great conditions”.
    What risks do severe heat poses?
    Intense heat can substantially impair cognitive functions, affecting choice- producing and risk perception. ” You’re talking about possible life- threatening scenarios, like making bad decisions, having your decision clouded”, said Kim Meidenbauer, a neuroscientist at Washington State University.
    How does steam affect the brain?
    The mind is vital in regulating body temperature, and severe heat can destroy its function. ” The head, for me, is the key to it all”, said Damian Bailey, a physiology and biochemistry teacher. In higher conditions, a decreased blood flow to the brain can cause confusion and stifling decision-making.
    Who is most at risk?
    Older people, very young children, pregnant ladies, and individuals with post- existing problems are especially prone. All of the patients in Greece were between the ages of 50 and 50.
    What precautions should be taken?
    Specialists advise avoiding rigorous activities during the hottest pieces of the day, staying refreshed, wearing loose clothing, and seeking shelter. Using location-sharing apps and ensuring one knows where you are may increase security.
    Health tips for hiking in warm weather
    Use warmer times and months: hiking organizations like WalkingWomen and Intrepid Travel advise people to hike in cooler months or places. Summertime in north Europe is more conducive.
    Change daily plans: If you ca n’t alter your travel dates, hike in the early mornings or evenings and stay away from outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day. Invest afternoon time inside.
    Know your walking path and make rest stops, for example. Tell people about your strategies, and prevent hiking alone.
    Stay hydrated and eat correctly: Drink plenty of water, prevent beer, and eat foods with high liquid content. Refill a bottle of water with it often and have it.
    Wear suitable clothing: Opt for free- appropriate, light- coloured clothes, wear sunglasses, long sleeves, a wide- brimmed hat, and use high SPF sunscreen.
    Identify heat- related symptoms: Be aware of signs of heatstroke and stress, like as weakness, dizziness, headaches, and nausea. If necessary, get shelter and medical assistance.
