The Loo winds pose significant health risks, including heat stress and dehydration, especially for those exposed to prolonged outdoor conditions. Vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and outdoor workers are at higher risk. The extreme heat can also impact agriculture, drying out soil and affecting crop yields. Dust storms accompanying the Loo can reduce visibility, disrupt transportation, and cause respiratory issues. Additionally, thunderstorms during this season may lead to localised damage due to violent winds, torrential rain, and hail.
