Can the body be trained to better withstand high temperatures during the heatwave?

Summer 2026 officially begins this Sunday, 21st June, coinciding with the arrival of the season’s first heatwave in the region.

With high temperatures forecast, questions arise about whether the human body can be trained or acclimatised to better tolerate extreme heat. Health experts analyse the body’s thermoregulation mechanisms.

Gradual and controlled exposure to heat could improve the body’s ability to manage elevated temperatures, though special precautions are required during intense heat episodes.

Health authorities recommend staying hydrated, avoiding peak sun hours and protecting oneself adequately during this first summer heatwave.
