The extreme heat poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions like asthma or heart disease. Outdoor workers and those engaging in physical activities are also at heightened risk of heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms to watch for include muscle cramping, heavy sweating, dizziness, and nausea. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over 700 people die annually in the U.S. due to extreme heat.
