Heat Stroke Sign #2: High Body Temperature
High temperature is a common sign of heat stroke. Rise in body temperature is in fact how this condition develops. This happens when the body’s homeostatic system can no longer regulate body temperature to its optimum.
According to the CDC, a temperature of 103 Fahrenheit or higher is a sign of heat stroke. However, on its own, high body temperature is not reason enough to conclude that you or a loved one has a heat stroke. However, if you have it in addition to other signs of heat stroke, you need to seek medical care to prevent the condition from getting out of hand. Meanwhile, seek ways to help keep cool.
