Extreme heat can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke, particularly for vulnerable groups like the elderly, children, and individuals with chronic health conditions. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can also exacerbate existing health issues and increase the risk of dehydration. Additionally, the heat may strain local power grids as residents turn to air conditioning to stay cool, potentially leading to power outages. Outdoor activities may become hazardous, and there is an increased risk of wildfires in the region.
