Here are some tips on how to stay cool in the heat:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
- Slow down from your normal pace.
- Spend time in air conditioning.
- Draw shades, blinds and curtains in rooms exposed to direct sunlight.
- Cool down with cool baths or showers.
- Avoid alcoholic, caffeinated and carbonated drinks.
- Wear SPF sunscreen.
- Wear loose-fitting, light colored clothing.
- Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.
- Do not leave animals, children or elderly inside a vehicle—even if you are just leaving for a minute and have the windows rolled down. This is still very dangerous.
- Try not to leave animals outside. If you do, provide adequate shade and water.
- Check on elderly and people with disabilities in your community who may need assistance keeping cool.
