Why is it so hot?
Stay Hydrated : Drink plenty of water, even if you're not thirsty. Avoid alcohol, tea, coffee, and sugary drinks as they can dehydrate you. Wear Appropriate Clothing : Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting cotton clothes. Use a hat or umbrella when outdoors. Avoid Peak Sun Hours : Stay indoors, especially between 12 noon and 3 p.m ., when the sun is strongest. Plan Outdoor Activities Carefully : If you need to be outside, do so in the early morning or late evening. Take frequent breaks in the shade. Use Sunscreen : Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from sunburn. Keep Your Home Cool : Use fans, keep windows open for cross-ventilation, and take cool showers to lower body temperature. Check on Vulnerable Individuals : Ensure children, the elderly, and those with health conditions are staying cool and hydrated.
