Noise & heat exposure are linked. When it's hot, many must choose: suffer from heat or open windows & suffer from noise. Both can be fatal.

A two-column infographic titled "Heatwaves & Mental Health: Pros vs Cons". The left column (green) lists benefits of warm weather, while the right column (red) outlines risks associated with heatwaves. Pros include: Improved mood and well-being due to serotonin and vitamin D from moderate sun exposure (18–24 °C). Enhanced mental clarity and stress reduction from heat-based therapies like saunas. Increased social interaction and seasonal uplift in summer. Cons include: A 6% increase in mental health crises following 3+ consecutive hot days (UK data). Sleep disruption when night-time temperatures exceed 25 °C, leading to fatigue and low mood. Reduced cognitive function and emotional regulation above 35 °C, Greater risks for vulnerable groups, including people with pre-existing mental illness, those on psychiatric medication, the elderly, low-income households, and people experiencing homelessness. The infographic includes thermometer and brain icons, clear text headings, and a professional layout with a neutral academic tone. A footnote references sources, including UKHSA, the ONS, and peer-reviewed mental health studies.

Therapy, sunshine, a good friend, and air con—kept balanced in the heat.

But heatwaves hit hardest for those most at risk:

↑ mental health crises after 3+ hot days
↓ sleep above 25 °C

Homeless, isolated & unwell most affected.
