5-Day Forecast

Comparing human heat stress against measured temperature.

Hourly Prediction
Heat risk is expected to stay high for the next 5 days. High humidity will keep sweat cooling low during peak hours.

People Most at Risk

Groups that face the highest danger during extreme heat conditions.

High Risk

Outdoor & Delivery Workers

Continuous sun exposure and physical effort without shaded rest increases heatstroke danger.

High Risk

Elderly People (60+)

Body temperature regulation is slower; higher likelihood of heart strain and dehydration.

High Risk

Young Children (<5)

Children absorb heat faster than adults and dehydrate quickly during outdoor playtime.

High Risk

Dense Areas & Slums

Tin roofs and lack of tree cover trap heat indoors, keeping nighttime temperatures high.

Stay Safe in Extreme Heat

  • • Drink water regularly: Have water or ORS every 30 minutes, even if you do not feel thirsty.
  • • Stay indoors: Avoid direct sun between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM when heat stress peaks.
  • • Wear light clothing: Use loose, light-colored cotton clothes and head covering outdoors.
  • • Seek medical help: If you or someone nearby feels dizzy, confused, or unusually weak, move to shade and call 108.

For Outdoor & Delivery Workers

  • • Take regular cooling breaks: Rest for 15–20 minutes in shade after deliveries.
  • • Carry hydration: Carry at least 2 litres of water with oral rehydration salts (ORS).
  • • Avoid peak afternoon heat: Reschedule heavy loading or high-speed deliveries where possible.
  • • Check alerts daily: Check the heat warning status on this dashboard before starting shifts.

For Local Authorities

  • • Limit heavy outdoor work: Implement mandatory afternoon pauses for construction and road works.
  • • Open cooling centres: Open public community halls, libraries, and shaded bus stops.
  • • Set up water stations: Dispatch water tankers to high-density informal settlement wards.
  • • Alert hospitals: Ready dedicated cooling beds and IV hydration supplies in emergency rooms.
