Tips On How To Beat The Summer Heat (NOAA)

• Take it easy. Slow down and avoid doing strenuous work.
• Dress for the weather. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Drink lots of water. Unless you have a condition that is affected by changing how much fluid you drink, it’s a good idea to keep as hydrated as possible.
• Avoid high-protein foods and meat. Eating these can increase your body’s heat production.
• Find an air-conditioned place to hang out. Don’t have an air conditioner of your own? Find a friend with one, or go to a public place like a library that has one.
• Be very careful in cars. Cars heat up extremely fast. You should never spend time in a parked car with windows closed, and you should always be wary of hot metal objects, both inside (like seatbelt buckles) and outside the car.
• Avoid getting too much sun. Sunburns make it harder for your body to cool off.

Be sure to look after the elderly, children, and pets as they can be vulnerable in this type of hot weather.
