July: The Hottest Month on Record

July: The Hottest Month on Record

Are you feeling the heat more than ever? You're not alone. The phenomenon known as “global boiling” is intensifying climate change, leading to record-breaking temperatures. July 2023 was the hottest month on record globally, and possibly the hottest in at least 120,000 years, according to the UN weather agency and its partners. As we brace for another scorching July, it’s crucial to prepare and find ways to stay cool and safe.

Beware of Heat Stroke

What is Heat Stroke? Heat stroke occurs when the body’s temperature rises rapidly, and it can't cool down, often due to prolonged exposure to the sun. Symptoms include confusion, dizziness, headache, and vomiting. If someone you know exhibits these signs, here’s how you can help:

Cool Them Down

Use a fan and mist them with cool water. Apply Ice Packs: Place ice packs or cool, wet towels on the neck, armpits, and groin.

Cover with Damp Sheets

Use cool, damp sheets to lower their body temperature.

Hydrate

Offer chilled water, a sports drink with electrolytes, or another nonalcoholic, caffeine-free beverage.

Monitor Consciousness

Keep them talking to ensure they stay conscious by asking simple questions like the current date or their date of birth.

Stay Hydrated

Hydration is Key. Staying hydrated is your best defense against heat stroke. While water is essential, beverages with natural electrolytes can provide additional benefits. Our Copra’s Organic 100% Pure Coconut Water is an excellent choice. Made from pure organic Nam Hom coconuts from Thailand, it’s rich in minerals, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. This natural drink is packed with electrolytes and potassium, helping you stay hydrated and beat the heat effectively.

As we enter this record-breaking month, let’s stay vigilant about our health. Keep cool, stay hydrated, and be mindful of those around you to ensure a safe and enjoyable July.
