Clever Student Brings Clip Fan to School to Beat Intense Heat Amid Class
A male student has gone viral and spread good vibes online after bringing his own fan to school to combat the intense summer heat.
The Philippines experiences intense heat during the summer months, typically from March to May. This period is characterized by high temperatures and high humidity levels, making it feel even hotter.
The combination of the tropical climate and the country’s location near the equator contributes to these extreme weather conditions. The heat can be particularly intense in cities like Manila and Cebu, where the urban heat island effect worsens the temperatures due to the concentration of buildings and concrete surfaces.
Over the past few weeks, various regions across the country have been experiencing intense heat and humid weather conditions brought on by the El Niño phenomenon.
As the temperature rises during the summer, school-age children face severe problems. Beyond just being uncomfortable, hot weather has an effect on kids’ mental and physical well-being as well as their academic achievement.
Students may experience physical discomfort and health risks as a result of high temperatures. Studies show that heat stress harms students’ attention span, memory recall, and problem-solving skills.
Recently, Benn Maturan, a Facebook user, shared a video of himself bringing his own clip fan to school as a clever solution to tackle the scorching heat. The video garnered various reactions from the online community.
In the video, Maturan can be seen pulling the clip fan out from his bag and clipping it onto the chair. He then plugged it into the outlet and turned it on, enjoying the breeze to alleviate the heat.
