Heat: From how many degrees it becomes dangerous

The article discusses the health risks associated with high temperatures, emphasizing that extreme heat affects multiple body systems, particularly the brain, heart, and metabolism. It explains how the human body struggles to maintain core temperature during heatwaves, especially when humidity levels are high. Medical expert Daniela Haluza highlights that while temperatures up to 30°C are generally manageable, those between 30 and 35°C increase physical and mental strain, and above 35°C significantly raise health risks. The article notes that the Wet-Bulb-Temperature, which combines both temperature and humidity, is a more accurate measure of heat stress. It also mentions that cognitive functions such as concentration and learning ability decline under heat, with studies showing reduced performance in office settings starting at 25°C. The piece warns that prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially in classrooms, can severely impair learning.

Bias read (Center): The article presents scientific information about the health effects of heat without overt ideological framing. While it emphasizes the dangers of extreme heat, it does not take a partisan stance on policies or political responses to climate change. The focus remains on medical and physiological事实,
