Heatwave at night: Why warm nights and humidity are more dangerous than you think

This lack of nighttime cooling leads to dehydration, fatigue, and increased strain, especially for vulnerable individuals. Urban areas exacerbate the issue. Simple measures like hydration and airflow can mitigate risks, but awareness is crucial.
