El Nino Watch

Preparedness: heat

El Nino likely makes March-May 2027 hotter. Above 41 °C feels-like, heat stroke is possible. Plan cool rest, water, oral rehydration salts, and a fan that works without mains power.

Preparedness

Avoid exertion between 11:00 and 16:00, drink regularly, use oral rehydration salts (ORS), and check on older people, children and anyone ill. Signs of heat stroke (confusion, hot and red skin that may be dry or damp, fainting) are an emergency: call 1669.
