Tips to stay healthy and cool during this hot weather

Updated August 13, 2019

Temperatures are expected to hit triple digits this week. We offer these tips for staying safe during the warm weather:

  • Drink plenty of water (2-4 glasses of water every hour if you are physically active and out in direct heat).
  • Wear lightweight, light colored loose fitting clothing as well as a hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
  • Always apply sunscreen and limit exposure during mid-day.
  • When participating in outdoor activities, do so with a buddy and pace yourself in the heat.
  • Always monitors those at risk for heat related illnesses especially those on medications for heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. as they may be affected more by the heat.
  • Never leave children, infants or pets inside vehicles.
  • Provide pets with plenty of water and shade.
