Seniors risk dehydration from even short walks in heat between 11am and 4pm

During heatwaves, even short outings — shopping, visiting a clinic or going to a market — can be dangerous for senior citizens. The highest-risk hours are between 11am and 4pm, when temperatures and sun exposure are at their peak. The primary dangers are dehydration and fainting, which can occur more rapidly in older people than in younger adults.
