Barbados Heat Warning for Seniors | Barbados News

Barbados is baking under relentless heat, with temps hitting 32-33°C and “feels like” readings nearing 45°C—making it a dangerous stretch through September and October. The Barbados Association of Retired Persons is sounding the alarm: older adults are especially vulnerable to dehydration, heat exhaustion, stroke, and fainting. Stay safe by drinking water even if you’re not thirsty, avoid sun during peak hours, wear loose, light clothing, use fans or AC, and take cool showers. Check in on elderly neighbors—especially those living alone—and watch for warning signs like confusion, dizziness, or headaches. Don’t wait—seek help immediately. Doctors are already seeing more heat-related illnesses among seniors. Take action now before it’s too late. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
