As travelers prepare for summer vacations, scorching temperatures await them in many destinations.
According to meteorologists, this summer could be characterized by above-average temperatures. Also, the development of the El Niño phenomenon could bring even warmer weather later in the year or next summer. High temperatures are not just uncomfortable; they can cause heat exhaustion and even heat stroke, which can be life-threatening.
However, travelers can take precautions to enjoy their vacation while being prepared for the heat.
“In the same way that we prepare for travel in cold conditions, we should also start thinking about ways to stay safe during the summer months,” said Dr. Alexander Azan of NYU LangoneHealth, co-director of the Project HEATWAVE initiative.
Check the weather forecast and think about travel companions
Before setting off, check the day and night temperatures, as well as the heat index, which also takes into account air humidity, Azan said.
If temperatures are forecast to be very high, be flexible. Consider moving to cooler areas near the coast or at higher altitudes. Plan more strenuous outdoor activities, such as long hikes or mountain climbs, for early morning or late evening, outside of peak heat hours. Midday, it may be more appropriate to visit a museum, see a movie, or relax in a café.
Check if the place you will be staying has working air conditioning and if the area has had a recent power outage. Also, find out about public refreshment centers and keep a note of key numbers for medical emergencies.
In addition to your luggage, think about the people you are traveling with. People with certain health conditions or taking certain medications may be more sensitive to heat.
“Many of the medications used for high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression can affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature,” said Ashley Ward, director of the HeatPolicyInnovationHub at Duke University.
The elderly, pregnant women, young children and infants are also particularly at risk, so plans should be adjusted as necessary. For example, holding an infant close to the body can further increase heat exposure.
Merrni me vete një shishe uji të ripërdorshme dhe veshje me ngjyra të çelëta e materiale që lejojnë qarkullimin e ajrit. Mos harroni kremin mbrojtës ndaj diellit, syzet e diellit, një kapelë me strehë të gjerë dhe një peshqir freskues. Një ventilator portativ mund të jetë i dobishëm, por gjatë temperaturave shumë të larta ai mund të fryjë vetëm ajër të nxehtë.
Kujdes me sigurinë gjatë udhëtimeve me makinë
Nëse planifikoni një udhëtim me makinë, bëni një kontroll teknik disa javë përpara nisjes për t’u siguruar që gjithçka është në rregull, veçanërisht sistemi i ftohjes së motorit dhe bateria. Nëse do të merrni një makinë me qira jashtë vendit, sigurohuni që ajo të ketë ajër të kondicionuar.
Merrni ujë dhe ushqime të lehta për të mbajtur energjinë gjatë rrugës, si për pasagjerët ashtu edhe për kafshët shtëpiake. Bëni ndalesa të rregullta për t’u hidratuar dhe për t’u shtrirë, por mos lini kurrë vetëm në makinë fëmijë, të moshuar apo kafshë shtëpiake, qoftë edhe për pak minuta.
Për ta mbajtur makinën sa më të freskët, parkoni në vende me hije dhe përdorni mbrojtëse për xhamin e përparmë. Kur hyni në një makinë shumë të nxehtë, ndizni kondicionerin, por fillimisht çaktivizoni riciklimin e ajrit për të nxjerrë ajrin e ndenjur. Hapni pak xhamat dhe, pasi temperatura të fillojë të ulet, mbyllini dhe aktivizoni riciklimin.
Për të shmangur mbetjen në rrugë në temperatura të larta, mos udhëtoni me më pak se një të katërtën e serbatorit, këshillon DavidBennett nga AAA. Nëse mbeteni të bllokuar dhe motori është ende në punë, mund ta ndizni dhe fikni herë pas here për të përdorur kondicionerin.
Mos ecni në anë të rrugës në vapë përvëluese për të kërkuar ndihmë. Qëndroni në makinë ose në një vend me hije pranë saj dhe vendosni trekëndëshin ose sinjalizuesit e sigurisë. Merrni gjithashtu një karikues shtesë për telefonin që lidhet me makinën, në mënyrë që të mund të kërkoni ndihmë nëse është e nevojshme.
Tregohuni fleksibël dhe njihni shenjat e problemeve nga nxehtësia
Udhëtarët duhet të jenë të vetëdijshëm për ndryshimet në sjelljen e tyre gjatë pushimeve. Kalimi i shumë orëve jashtë, aktivitetet intensive dhe konsumimi më i madh i alkoolit mund të rrisin rrezikun e problemeve të lidhura me nxehtësinë.
Shumë njerëz përballen me vështirësi sepse injorojnë si kushtet e mjedisit, ashtu edhe sinjalet që u jep trupi. “Ata mendojnë se mund ta përballojnë pa problem. Ky është një gabim,” tha Ward.
Gjatë vizitave dhe aktiviteteve të ditës, kujdesuni për njëri-tjetrin dhe vëzhgoni shenjat e sëmundjeve nga nxehtësia, si marramendja, të përzierat, ngërçet muskulore dhe djersitja e shoqëruar me lëkurë të ftohtë dhe të lagësht. Nëse ju ose dikush që udhëton me ju nuk ndihet mirë, shkoni menjëherë në një vend me hije, pini pak ujë dhe lironi rrobat e ngushta.
If symptoms worsen and include slurred speech, loss of consciousness, severe confusion, or a body that is very hot to the touch, seek medical attention immediately. These may be signs of heat stroke, a very serious condition.
If extreme temperatures make it impossible to travel, there are ways to recoup some of the costs. Some travel insurance policies offer cancellation coverage for any reason, partially reimbursing expenses. There are also services like SensibleWeather and WeatherPromise, which reimburse travel or accommodation costs for days when your vacation is disrupted by rain, heavy snow, or extreme heat.
As temperatures continue to rise, experts say the most important thing vacationers can do is listen to their body's signals and remain flexible.
By staying informed, taking precautions, and adjusting plans when necessary, travelers can ensure their vacations are both safe and enjoyable. / Medica lxpress
