As the summer season approaches, it's time to gear up for the intense heat India is known for. Here's a list of useful products and tips to help you stay cool, hydrated, and comfortable.
Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key during the summer months. Opt for water and rehydration sachets to replenish lost nutrients and electrolytes effectively. Rehydration sachets are widely recommended and can be easily found.
Light and Breathable Clothing
Choose light-colored, breathable fabrics like linen for your wardrobe. Men can find linen trousers for ₹999, while women can choose from a range of cotton pants for ₹589-₹857. These airy options let the skin breathe, making them ideal for the summer heat.
Sun Protection
Protect your skin from harmful UV rays with sunscreen. A light, non-sticky, and non-greasy sunscreen is recommended, available for ₹450 for 88ml. For added protection, consider talc powders, which can absorb sweat, prevent chafing, and keep you feeling fresh. They are available for ₹66 or ₹88.
Cooling Accessories
A portable mini fan that connects to a phone is a handy accessory for cooling down during hot moments. It's available for ₹79. For those long, hot days, a cooling gel pillow is recommended to prevent sweating during sleep, priced at ₹1,199.
Outdoor Activities
For outdoor or labor-intensive work, shifting schedules to early morning or late evening hours can significantly reduce heat exposure. This adaptation is particularly important in India’s climate.
Products for Pets
Don't forget your four-legged friends! A cooling mat for pets is suggested to help them stay comfortable during the hottest months, priced at ₹1,399.
Personal Hygiene
Stay fresh with Nivea deodorants, available for men and women at ₹159 each. Moisturizing wet wipes are also useful for wiping sweat and soothing the skin. A set of 2 packs with 25 wipes each is available for ₹125. For women's hygiene during the summer, intimate wet wipes are available for ₹175 for a set of 3 packs with 10 wipes each.
Eco-Friendly Options
For a more environmentally friendly choice, opt for a set of 4 metal straws, priced at ₹275. They are better for the environment and promote hygiene.
Cold Beverages
For coffee lovers who can't handle hot beverages in the summer, a cold coffee brewer is available for ₹1,999. If you prefer homemade popsicles, adorable popsicle moulds are available for ₹279 for a set of 6.
Beach Essentials
The summer season also brings beach vacations, bikinis, floral dresses, and fun. Don't forget to protect your skin with sunscreen and stay hydrated with rehydration sachets.
Stay Informed
Remember, staying aware of heat exhaustion symptoms is crucial, especially for children. Cooling centers or shaded, well-ventilated spaces also serve as practical solutions for avoiding prolonged heat exposure.
Financial support schemes like parametric insurance have been implemented in some states to provide relief for workers affected by extreme heat.
In summary, coping with India’s intense summer heat calls for a combination of hydration, appropriate clothing, sun protection, timing adjustments for outdoor activities, and practical health awareness.
