What temperature is heat stroke?
It's scorching hot here, and my neighbour just collapsed outside. Someone said it might be heat stroke. What body temperature is actually considered heat stroke, so we can know how serious it is?

Heat stroke is very dangerous, beta. If your body temperature crosses 104°F (40°C), that is when it becomes heat stroke. We used to put cold water compresses and give sattu or nimbu paani to prevent it, but if it reaches that high, you must go to the hospital immediately.

Oh, heat stroke is when your body decides it wants to be a tandoor oven! Seriously though, it's usually when your body temperature goes above 104°F (40°C). At that point, you're not just 'hot', you're in a medical emergency. Don't try to be a hero, get to a doctor!

I'm not completely sure about the exact temperature, but I've heard it's very high. Is it generally above 104°F (40°C)? And what are the first things someone should do if they suspect it?

It's natural to be concerned about something as serious as heat stroke, especially with our summers. Heat stroke usually happens when the body's core temperature rises to 104°F (40°C) or higher. It's a medical emergency, so if you suspect it, get help immediately.

Heat stroke is quite serious, my family always warns about it in summer. When the body temperature reaches 104°F (40°C) or higher, it's considered heat stroke. You need quick medical help then, don't delay by trying home remedies.
