CYPRadar 🇨🇾🌦️ Heatwaves in Cyprus linked to significant health risks beyond heatstroke, experts warn
In Cyprus, rising temperatures and frequent heatwaves pose serious health risks beyond the well-known threat of heatstroke. Experts highlight that symptoms such as prolonged headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and poor sleep often go unrecognized as effects of extreme heat but can significantly impact both mental and physical health.
Research from the Cyprus Institute reveals that high daytime and nighttime temperatures contribute to increased mortality rates and hospital admissions, especially for cardiovascular, respiratory, and diabetes-related conditions. During heatwaves, deaths linked to extreme heat can reach nearly 19 percent, illustrating the severity of prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
Additionally, elevated nighttime temperatures prevent the body from recovering properly, leading to poorer sleep quality and subsequent issues like brain fog, irritability, and diminished concentration. With climate change driving more frequent and intense heatwaves in the Eastern Mediterranean, health experts urge greater awareness and precautions to address these cumulative effects on public health.
