## Resource

Heat waves are driving a massive spike in air conditioner and fan sales, with retailers reporting over 20% surges—small 12,000 BTU units and portable fans flying off shelves as people scramble to stay cool. Even as shipments arrive for sold-out models, the demand is relentless across stores. With Barbados Meteorological Services warning of sustained extreme heat through October, experts urge hydration, light clothing, and avoiding sun exposure—especially for vulnerable groups and outdoor workers who say this heat is hotter than they’ve ever experienced. People are adapting by seeking shade, staying indoors, and drinking more water to survive the blistering conditions.
