Taiwan's hot and humid summer weather poses a risk of 'summer heatstroke during the rainy season,' with experts warning of high dehydration risks. While afternoon thunderstorms in summer help cool down temperatures, Japanese experts emphasize the need to stay hydrated, even indoors with air conditioning. The rainy season in Japan sees a high occurrence of heatstroke cases, with factors such as 'hidden dehydration,' difficulty in sweating evaporation, and body's struggle to adapt to the heat contributing to the risk. Recommendations include staying hydrated, sweating through exercise or baths, ensuring protein intake in diet, and monitoring temperature and humidity levels. Additionally, research in Taiwan suggests a link between high temperatures and worsening cardiovascular, respiratory diseases, as well as an increased risk of non-traditional causes of kidney disease, emphasizing the need for continued attention to public health in humid climates.
