Heatwave Alert: 5 Critical Signs Your Child Is Affected By Extreme Heat

• Excessive Fatigue or Weakness: Unusual tiredness, lethargy, or refusing to play signals overheating.
• Headaches and Dizziness: Pounding head, lightheadedness, or unsteadiness often indicate dehydration or heat exhaustion.
• Nausea or Loss of Appetite: Stomach discomfort, refusing meals, or vomiting can occur as the body diverts energy to cooling.
• Red, Hot or Dry Skin: Flushed, unusually warm skin, or decreased sweating may point to serious heat-related stress.
• Increased Irritability or Unusual Behaviour: Restlessness, crankiness, or mood changes can signal discomfort or dehydration.
