Heat waves in Mexico: high temperatures not only cause heat stroke, they also affect visual and mental health

Mexico is currently facing a series of heat waves that health authorities have identified as a recurring public health challenge. The Secretariat of Health recently reported that the extreme temperatures are causing widespread health complications, extending beyond common heat strokes to include significant impacts on visual and mental health.

These environmental conditions are no longer viewed as isolated events, but as a persistent threat to the population. The situation has prompted official monitoring as the country addresses the broader physiological and psychological consequences of sustained high temperatures.
