Impact on Health
What Happens When Temperatures Hit 50°C?

If temperatures soar above 50°C, the human body faces extreme stress, making it difficult to function normally.

When the body cannot cool itself effectively through sweating, dehydration sets in quickly. This can lead to heat exhaustion, causing fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and rapid heartbeat.

What can happen?

In extreme cases, heatstroke can occur, where the body’s temperature rises dangerously high, impairing brain function and leading to organ failure.

India is currently battling a severe heatwave, with several regions experiencing such extreme heat. Prolonged exposure can lead to life-threatening conditions.
