Heat stroke happens much more often then you could think. When you hear that a heat wave has killed people in a area that gets extremely hot its usually due to heat stroke.

So stay hydrated, dont' work too hard out in the heat, and take frequent breaks to rehydrate yourself and cool down. And if you don't have to be out in the heat, avoid it.

Hyperthermia (hyperpyrexia), in its advanced state referred to as heat stroke or sunstroke, is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. It is usually due to excessive exposure to heat. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, and body temperature climbs uncontrollably. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.
