Dehradun receives a double weather attack: bright sunshine during the day and cold in the morning and evening

Dehradun. The weather patterns are changing rapidly in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. There is a feeling of bright sunshine and heat during the day, while in the morning and evening it is becoming cold. The difference of about 15 degrees Celsius between day and night temperatures is causing problems for people. Especially during the festive season, these fluctuations in weather can increase the risk of health related problems. Doctors have advised people to be careful in the changing weather, take care of their diet and protect themselves from cold in the morning and evening.

Feeling hot during the day, cold in the morning and evening

These days two different types of weather are being seen in Dehradun. A slight cold is felt in the morning, but after the sun rises the temperature starts increasing.

One feels hot in the afternoon due to the bright sunlight. At the same time, as the evening approaches, the temperature starts falling and the atmosphere starts becoming cool.

Due to this changing nature of weather, people have to change their clothes and daily activities throughout the day.

Especially people who leave home early in the morning and stay out till late in the evening are facing the difference in temperature.

15 degree difference in day and night temperature

There is a difference of about 15 degrees Celsius between day and night temperatures in the capital.

Due to this difference in temperature, the weather can be felt differently in the morning, afternoon and night.

In view of the heat in the afternoon, people leave the house wearing light clothes, but they may feel discomfort when the cold increases in the evening.

However, difference in temperature alone is not the direct cause of any disease. Symptoms of respiratory infections, allergies and pre-existing health problems may become more felt during the change in weather.

For this reason, doctors are advising people to take precautions according to the weather.

Be cautious about cold and throat problems

In the changing weather, it is important to be alert about complaints like cold, cough and sore throat.

These problems are often associated with viral infections or allergies. Cold and dry air can increase throat and nose problems in some people.

According to experts, it is important to take adequate rest, balanced diet and hygiene during changing seasons.

Covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and washing your hands regularly helps reduce the risk of spreading infection.

If there is fever, persistent cough or trouble breathing, it is necessary to seek medical advice.

Children and elderly need special caution

Special care should be taken of small children and the elderly in the changing weather patterns.

Children often wear light clothes while playing during the day due to the heat. But they may need extra clothing when the temperature drops in the evening.

At the same time, pre-existing respiratory and cardiovascular problems in the elderly can cause more problems during cold.

Such people need to wear clothes according to the weather and take their regular medicines as per the doctor’s advice.

Treatment should not be delayed if shortness of breath, extreme weakness or other serious symptoms appear in children or the elderly.

Carelessness may increase during the festive season

Due to the festive season, the movement of people in markets and public places increases.

People stay out of home for long periods during shopping, religious events and family functions.

It is important to prepare according to the weather as it is hot during the day and cold in the evening.

Staying up late during festivals, not getting enough sleep and irregular eating habits can also affect health.

Doctors recommend that while enjoying the festivals, one should take care of adequate sleep, clean food and water.

Asthma and allergy patients should take care

People suffering from asthma and allergies may need to take extra precautions during changes in weather.

Cold air, dust, and other environmental factors may aggravate coughing, sneezing, or respiratory symptoms in some patients.

Asthma patients should regularly use inhalers and other medicines prescribed by the doctor.

It is not advisable to stop medicines or change their dosage without medical advice.

If there is severe trouble breathing or if prescribed relief medication does not provide relief, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Those taking morning walks should also be careful

People taking morning walks and exercising in Dehradun should also keep in mind the changing weather.

It can be helpful to dress appropriately for the weather if you feel cold in the morning.

Before starting exercise, it is better to do a light warm-up and do the activity according to your physical capacity.

If people with asthma or other respiratory problems have trouble exercising in cold air, then they should decide their daily routine as per the advice of the doctor.

Apart from this, it is also necessary to drink enough water during the day when the sun is strong.

Take special care of food and water

Eating a balanced diet and drinking enough water is important for health during seasonal changes.

Despite feeling hot during the day, many people start drinking less water. This may cause lack of water in the body.

Seasonal fruits, vegetables, pulses and nutritious food help in meeting the normal needs of the body.

Eating too much fried food during the festive season may cause digestive problems to some people.

In such a situation, it is useful to take care of the quantity and quality of food.

It is important to wear clothes according to the weather
