Most people are fond of travelling. Such people go out for a walk as soon as they get two days' leave. Usually, such people do not pay much attention to the weather. While travelling, you must also pay attention to the weather. For example, if travelling during a heatwave does not take enough care of oneself, it does not take long for a person to become ill.
Especially, if travelling to hot places during heatwave, then you need to be extra careful. In such a situation, the body's water is reduced to a great extent. Along with this, the chances of getting heat stroke etc. also increase to a great extent. But if you adopt some small tips, then you can take better care of yourself while travelling during a heatwave as well-
Travel at the right time
If you want to travel during the hot summer days, then you need to be extra careful about the selection of time. For example, you should avoid walking outside in the hot sun. If you want to explore a new place, try not to venture out between 12 noon to 4 pm. Rather plan to visit in the evening.
Not only is the heat very high in the afternoon, but heat wave also prevails at that time, which can harm you. That's why during that time you try to stay in the hotel itself.
Choose your travel destination wisely
Even though you are very fond of travelling, if you are planning to travel in the scorching heat, then you should also choose your travel destination carefully. Try to plan to go to a place during the summer, where the days are not very hot. Instead, make an idea of going to cool places. In such a situation, you get a lot of relief from the heat.
Stay hydrated
When you are travelling during a heatwave, you must keep yourself well-hydrated. For this, just drinking water is not enough, but also keep a packet of ORS with you and mix it in water and take it. Apart from this, keep consuming coconut water, buttermilk or juice etc. while travelling. Due to this, energy remains in your body and travelling becomes very convenient.
Take care of clothes
It is very important to make yourself feel comfortable while travelling on hot days and for this, you must choose your clothes properly. You can wear little loose clothes while travelling, due to which the airflow is done properly. Lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-coloured clothing reflects heat and sunlight which makes travelling more comfortable for you. Also, wear clothing that covers most of your skin. During travel, we have to roam outside for a long time and therefore if your clothes cover the body, then your skin will also be protected by them. Apart from this, you must also wear headwear while travelling.
Try to stay in the shade
Try to stay in the shade whenever possible. Many travel places have air conditioning facilities. So it would be nice to stay at these places for a while and help you beat the heat for a while.
So now you too follow these small tips and protect yourself from heat waves while travelling.
