The temperature is going up and many people have been harmed by hot weather in the world. We have to think that all of us are at risk. Even more amazingly, in 2018, a high temperature of about 46 degrees Celsius was recorded in France. Some people collapsed because of this temperature.
There are some specific groups who are more easily affected, such as pregnant women, children, the elderly, athletes, workers, the homeless and disabled people. The elderly and children are a familiar example.
Some of the elderly do not like using new technology, so they refuse to turn on their air conditioners. Additionally, the elderly living in rural areas may not even have air conditioners, so they cannot control their body temperatures by themselves.
As a result, they just open windows. They may feel good, but also they need to drink water. They are not able to cool down sufficiently for as long as the weather is bad.
This is their individual habit. They should change their habits in order to become more comfortable and to be more careful about their bodies.
