The heat can be pretty dangerous especially for vulnerable people
As the heatwave rages on, Scots are being urged to take care of themselves in hot weather to avoid a serious medical emergency.
Like its name suggests, heatstroke is caused by over exposure to high temperatures rather than sunlight, so it can even happen if you take sun shelter. Left untreated, heatstroke can cause serious damage to the kidneys and other vital organs, according to medical website Patient.info. But continued exposure to hot conditions cause the body to struggle, resulting in heat exhaustion, which can creep up fairly quickly.
But heatstroke occurs when your body can no longer cope with hot temperatures, stopping the function of the body's cooling mechanisms. It is a medical emergency and the NHS advises to call 999 if someone you know is exhibiting heatstroke symptoms.
