To prevent heatstroke, it is advisable to avoid going outdoors between noon and 3 p.m. during summer, as outdoor temperatures are highest and sunlight is strongest during this period, making outdoor exposure particularly harmful to health.

Heatstroke can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and palpitations in patients, and in severe cases, it may lead to organ failure and shock. To prevent heatstroke, it is advisable to avoid going outdoors between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM during summer, as outdoor temperatures are highest and sunlight is strongest during this period, making outdoor exposure particularly harmful to the body. When engaging in outdoor physical activities, try not to do so too frequently, as this can cause rapid water loss through evaporation, increasing the risk of heatstroke. Choose cool, well-ventilated areas for outdoor activities. Also, practice proper sun protection by carrying an umbrella and wearing lightweight, breathable sun-protective clothing to minimize direct exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
In addition, since sweating is common during summer, it's important to replenish fluids promptly to prevent electrolyte imbalances.
