The WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation).

Preparedness: What to do before engaging in outdoor activities?
1. Wear a hat and light weight, light fitting and light colored clothing
2. Plan to take frequent breaks every hour.

Safety: What to do while engaging in outdoor activities in these conditions;
1. Take breaks in cool and shaded areas. About 4 to 5 minute breaks are, encourage about 2 to 3 times an hour.
2. Drink plenty of water or non-alcoholic fluids. Your body needs plenty of water to help keep it cool. Even if you are not thirsty, drink some water for safety of your body.
3. Do Not Stay In Direct Sunlight For Too Long.

 

Reminder with your body and health it is better to be PROACTIVE than REACTIVE. So be proactive and drink more water daily. Parents are advised to send your kids to school with extra water and fruits with high water contents so they can stay hydrated.
