Stay Cool in Tulum: Local Authorities’ Tips to Beat Extreme Heat

In response to rising temperatures in Tulum, local authorities have issued a series of recommendations to help residents stay safe and healthy. The Tulum City Council has highlighted the symptoms of heat exhaustion, which can include dizziness, excessive sweating, cool or pale skin, nausea or vomiting, fast but weak pulse, and muscle cramps.

Heatstroke, a more serious condition, is characterized by symptoms such as headache, dry skin without sweat, body temperature exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, hot red and dry skin, nausea and vomiting, rapid but weak pulse, and potential loss of consciousness.

The City Council emphasized the importance of understanding the differences between these two conditions, as this knowledge could potentially save lives. They also advised residents to stay hydrated, limit sun exposure, and wear a cap or hat to help prevent these heat-related illnesses.
