Why Nighttime Temps Matter In A Heat Wave | Weather.com When nighttime temperatures remain high during heat waves, your body can't recover from daytime heat stress, creating dangerous and potentially life-threatening conditions.

"Warm nighttime temperatures, especially 80F or warmer, do not allow people to recover from daytime heat. When warm low temperatures are combined with high humidity, conditions can become dangerous, if not deadly, even in the middle of the night."

They also concluded that the risks of dementia go up as the levels of pollution exposure increase, especially for tiny particulate matter, which can be inhaled deeply into the lungs.
