Context & protective measures
Background: heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense in Switzerland. The greatest danger is the health burden from persistently high day and night temperatures, which favour dehydration, heat stroke and circulatory problems. The elderly, the chronically ill, pregnant women and infants are particularly at risk.
Recommendation
Likelihood medium, impact high. Drink enough, avoid the midday heat and physical exertion outdoors, keep living spaces cool by ventilating during cooler hours, and look after vulnerable people around you.
What to do now
Check now that vulnerable people near you are drinking enough and can reach a cool place, and observe any outdoor fire bans currently in force.
