Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Manuj Yadav

Phase 1 of the Lok Sabha election 2024 has begun today.

With the election coinciding with extreme heat conditions, here are some tips to protect yourself from the heat.

Follow weather forecasts

Watch for heatwave warnings on your weather app and from your local authorities.

Stay hydrated

Carry a bottle of water and drink frequently, even if you don't feel thirsty.

Seek shade

Try standing in the shade as you wait for your turn. You can choose early morning or late afternoon instead of the peak heat hours (11 am to 4 pm).

Wear loose clothing

Choose comfortable, light-colured clothing. Carry an umbrella or scraf, and wear sunglasses.

Prioritize health

If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other heat-related illness, seek medical attention immediately.
