Heatwave in Austria

How to survive the heatwave

During a heatwave, it is crucial to drink enough water. High temperatures increase the risk of dehydration, which can lead to health problems such as heat stroke and exhaustion. Drink water regularly, avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks, and stay in cool, shaded areas. Make sure to stay hydrated to stay healthy and fit through the heat!

Heatwave: understanding and taking precautions

A heatwave is a prolonged period of extremely high temperatures, often lasting several days or weeks. A heatwave poses a significant health risk, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and people with chronic illnesses. During these hot spells, it is crucial to stay hydrated to prevent dehydration. Avoiding intense physical activity during the heat of the day is also advisable to minimise the risk of heat stroke. By adapting to the weather conditions in good time and adopting responsible behaviour, you can effectively protect your health during a heatwave.

Health risks during heatwaves: What you need to know

Heatwaves pose serious health risks, especially in urban areas. Excessive heat can lead to dehydration, which exacerbates symptoms such as dizziness, headaches and fatigue. Elderly people, children and people with pre-existing medical conditions are particularly at risk. Heat stroke, a life-threatening form of overheating, can occur when the body is no longer able to regulate its temperature. Long-term exposure to heat can also exacerbate existing health problems and lead to cardiovascular disease. Protective measures such as staying in cool rooms, staying hydrated and avoiding physical exertion during the hottest hours of the day are crucial to maintaining good health during a heatwave.

Tips for heatwaves: How to stay cool and healthy

Several measures should be taken to protect yourself during heat waves. Stay in cool rooms or seek shady areas, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Wear loose, light-coloured clothing and avoid physical exertion. Drink water regularly, even if you don't feel thirsty, and avoid alcoholic and caffeinated drinks. Cool down with cold showers or damp cloths. Keep windows and curtains closed during the day to keep the heat out and use fans or air conditioning if available. Regularly check vulnerable people such as the elderly or children for signs of overheating.

I had a particularly pleasant conversation with Mrs Radl in the Johann Strauss pharmacy. She took her time, was open, friendly and radiated a warm, cordial manner. Such encounters make a visit to the pharmacy particularly positive and human. Thank you very much for this lovely conversation and great advice!

I particularly appreciate the selection of high-quality products ranging from tried-and-tested medicines to selected cosmetics. The regional specialities are a highlight, such as fine honey from Vienna, ideal as a gift or for personal use.

The boss is extremely competent, hard-working and always has an open ear for my concerns. I suffer from a very severe form of dry eye and I can ask him for advice at any time. He really thinks about things, does his research and tries to help where most doctors are at their wit's end, and it's great that there are people as committed as Mr Wendl in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the big city.
