Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day—even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks, as they can lead to dehydration.
Dress Appropriately
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can help protect you from direct sunlight.
Limit Outdoor Activity
Try to stay indoors during peak heat hours (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). If you must go outside, take frequent breaks in the shade.
Recognize Heat-Related Illness
Watch for symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headache, or excessive sweating. These could be signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke—seek medical help if needed.
Cool Your Space
- Use fans or air conditioning when possible.
- Close curtains or blinds during the day to block sunlight.
- Take cool showers or use damp cloths to lower your body temperature.
