The state is experiencing intense heat. The ultraviolet radiation levels in Malappuram and Palakkad districts have reached dangerous levels.
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to sunburn, skin diseases, eye disorders, and other health issues. Therefore, precautions should be taken. The ultraviolet index is highest between 10 AM and 3 PM. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight during these hours. Those engaged in outdoor work and bike riders should take extra care to protect themselves from the sun.
People with skin diseases, eye disorders, cancer patients, and those with weakened immunity should never be exposed to intense sunlight. When stepping outside, use a hat, umbrella, or sunglasses for protection.
