Voters advised to prepare for a scorching day, ensure they stay hydrated

Heads up, Voters in Central Visayas! 📣

Mark your calendars for Monday, May 12, 2025, as Election Day is fast approaching! But, be warned, it's going to be a hot and humid day, with temperatures reaching a sweltering 38 to 42 degrees Celsius. According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration's (Pagasa) Visayas office, this huge heat index could potentially lead to heat-related illnesses. Yikes! 😓

But fret not, here's how you can keep cool and safe on this steamy day: 🌞

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to dodge dehydration. Avoid chugging back too much caffeine or sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate you further [3].
  2. Dress Light: Opt for lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothes. This fashion choice can help keep your cool and keep you feeling comfy all day long [5].
  3. Bring Your Sunshine Protection Kit: Umbrellas, hats, or caps are your new best friends on this day. They'll help shield you from the scorching sun [3].
  4. Monitor Your Health: Keep an eye out for symptoms of heat-related illnesses, such as dizziness, headaches, and even fainting. If you start to feel unwell, dash for the shade and take a breather [3].
  5. Take Breaks: If you can, take breaks in shaded or cooler areas. This will help you avoid getting too hot [5].
  6. Follow Local Advice: Tune in to local news and weather updates for any heat-related precautions issued by PAGASA or your local health officials [2][3].

By taking these precautions, you'll be able to keep yourself safe and enjoy your important civic duty on Election Day! 💪😎
