The next few days are predicted to be unseasonably hot with temperatures rising into the high 90s by Tuesday.
Stay safe in the heat by following these safety tips:

1. Hydrate
Drink constantly: Drink water every 15 to 20 minutes, even if you do not feel thirsty.
Limit coffee, soda, and alcohol: they cause your body to lose fluids faster.
Monitor indicators: Check your urine color; it should ideally look like pale lemonade, not dark apple juice.

2. Optimize Personal Cooling
Wear lightweight clothes: Choose loose-fitting, light-colored, and breathable fabrics like cotton or moisture-wicking synthetic blends.
Protect your skin: Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Seek air conditioning: Spend time in public libraries, shopping malls, or designated cooling centers if your home lacks air conditioning.

3. Adjust Outdoor Habits
Time your outings: Limit outdoor exposure to early mornings or late evenings when temperatures and the UV index are lowest.
Pace your activities: Take frequent, mandatory breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas to let your core temperature drop.
Never leave passengers: Check the backseat every time you park; car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in minutes.
Check on others: Monitor high-risk individuals regularly, including toddlers, elderly neighbors, and outdoor workers.
