How Hot Weather Affects Workers' Minds in South India

In South India, the heat is getting worse. Workers are feeling the heat both physically and mentally. This isn't just about sweating more. It's about how the heat messes with their minds. The heat doesn't just make people feel hot. It can make them feel anxious too. This is called climate anxiety. Workers in poorer countries feel this the most. They don't have fancy air conditioning or breaks in the shade. A recent study looked at how workers in South India are handling the heat. It's not just about drinking water and taking breaks. The heat is making them worried about their jobs and their future. The study found that workers are using different ways to cope. Some take breaks when they can. Others drink lots of water. But is this enough? The heat is getting worse. Workers need better ways to deal with it. The heat isn't just a problem for today. It's a problem for the future. Workers are worried about what will happen if the heat keeps rising. They need help to deal with the heat and the anxiety it causes.
