So Ireland is experiencing heatwave conditions-30 degrees or more expected this week.Already my mother is struggling.
She says shes cold but shes boiling up. Shes very attached to her winter cardigans and slow to remove them. We brought various summer clothes-lighter trousers etc but she sticks with jeans and her winter shoes.
Yesterday my sister left early as she thought my mother was extra tired/confused. She didn't want to take off her cardigan even though she was boiling up. She may have had some heat stress? heat exhaustion?
She has the cardigan on this morning again saying shes cold. We have a fan, will open windows, stay in between 11-3pm, we got a sun umbrella so we could use that, she is drinking water but is annoyed after a while by us giving her another glass, she loves ice cream so plenty of that.
You cant help but worry in this weather. Im hoping it doesn't reach 30. I'll struggle with that myself.
