Hot and Humid Weather? Get Ready for 4 Effects that Appear in the Body

Dream - Mood or state of mind is influenced by many things. Not only internally but also externally. Did you know, Dream friends, that the weather also plays a very big role in mood?

Hot and Humid Weather? Get Ready for 4 Effects that Appear in the Body

When going to a region that feels hot and very humid, the body will feel very tired and the mood becomes very messy. This hot and humid weather condition occurs when there is a lot of evaporation and makes us keep sweating and feeling sticky on the skin.

In the summer, humidity feels bad because warm air naturally has more moisture than cold air. If you live near the ocean or warm bodies of water, water will evaporate into the air and worsen humidity. Because high humidity makes it difficult for the body to stay cool, people are more likely to experience heat-related illnesses that make them feel nauseous and tired. Here are 4 specific impacts of humidity on the human body.

1. Dehydration

Humidity can cause excessive sweating and make you dehydrated. Dehydration occurs when we lose more water than our body can replenish. Because high humidity causes sweat to stay on the skin for a longer time, the body cannot effectively cool down.

               

As a result, you will continue to sweat as your body tries to regulate its temperature, resulting in fluid loss. Without enough fluid, the body cannot function properly and begins to deteriorate. If you experience dehydration in humid conditions, you may experience dizziness, fatigue, headache, muscle cramps, dry mouth, dark urine, and decreased urination and sweating. These are symptoms associated with general dehydration.

2. Muscle cramps

Because moisture makes heat and sweat more, you can lose too many electrolytes and start cramping. Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals in sweat that help the body regulate hydration, muscle function, nervous system, and blood pH.

               

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Low electrolyte levels make it difficult for the body to regulate muscle function, causing muscle cramps. It is also called heat cramps, because it is associated with heat indicating the body's loss of electrolytes. Heat cramps usually occur in the arms, legs, or abdomen."

3. Fatigue

Feeling tired after being exposed to scorching heat all day? The combination of humidity and high temperature can make you feel sluggish and sleepy. When the weather is hot and humid, the body works extra hard to cool itself down. This continuous effort can be very draining of energy.

               

When the body sweats a lot to cool down, you also lose a lot of water and electrolytes. The effect is feeling tired if experiencing mild dehydration due to water loss. Resting from the hot weather and drinking plenty of water and fluids containing electrolytes can help to recover.

4. Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that occurs when sweat fails to cool the body. As a result, the body loses control over temperature regulation, and the core body temperature rises rapidly.

               

The body temperature above 39 degrees Celsius is a warning sign of heat stroke. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes for the body temperature to rise to 41 degrees Celsius or higher.

At this temperature, the body can no longer regulate its temperature, and organs may begin to damage and fail to function. Heat stroke can be fatal if immediate medical help is not received, causing loss of consciousness and seizures. Other warning signs of heat stroke include confusion, slurred speech, excessive sweating, hot and dry skin, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure.
