What temperature causes heat stroke?
It's scorching hot here, and I've been working outdoors a lot. My friend recently got heatstroke, so I'm trying to be careful. At what body temperature does heat stroke usually occur?

I was just looking this up because of the summer! Heat stroke generally happens when your body temperature rises to 104°F (40°C) or higher. It's really serious and not just feeling hot. Makes me think twice before going out in peak sun!

Heat stroke is very dangerous, beta. It happens when your body gets too hot and can't cool itself, usually above 104°F (40°C). Always stay hydrated and indoors during peak heat. Humare zamane mein itni garmi nahi hoti thi, ab bahut zyada hai.

Heat stroke? That's when your body decides it's had enough and switches to oven mode, usually above 104°F (40°C). Frankly, in Indian summers, I feel like I'm close to heat stroke just walking to the fridge. Stay cool, folks, and drink lots of nimbu pani!

Heat stroke is no joke, especially during intense workouts or outdoor activities. It typically occurs when your core body temperature goes above 104°F (40°C). Proper hydration, electrolyte balance, and avoiding peak sun hours are crucial. Don't push your body too hard in extreme heat.

For heat stroke, the critical body temperature is usually 104°F (40°C) or higher. This is a medical emergency. If someone shows signs like confusion, hot dry skin, or rapid pulse in extreme heat, get them to a cool place and seek immediate medical help. Always keep water handy.
