Heat warnings overlook a common health problem worsened by extreme temperatures
Public heat warnings tend to focus on dehydration and heatstroke, overlooking other significant health impacts such as disrupted sleep and a narrowing of a person's daily activities. Extreme temperatures lead people to go out less, exercise less and become more socially isolated, which can be particularly harmful for those with chronic conditions. Health experts are calling for broader health messaging around heatwaves.
