Quick shift in weather brings on the heat

Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water or non-alcoholic fluids before, during, and after being in the heat. Try to drink at least one cup every 15–20 minutes. Avoid caffeinated and sugary drinks, which can dehydrate you. If you’re exercising or outdoors, drink water even if you don’t feel thirsty. Watch for signs of dehydration, such as feeling thirsty, lightheaded, or having a dry mouth.
Stay cool
Stay in air-conditioned spaces as much as possible. If you don’t have air conditioning, go to a cool location. You can also take cool showers or baths.
Dress for the weather
Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing that reflects heat and sunlight. You can also wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face from the sun.
Limit outdoor activity
Avoid high-energy activities or working outdoors during the hottest part of the day. If you must be outside, try to schedule tasks earlier or later in the day. When you’re outside, seek shaded areas and rest often.
Check on others
Check on family members, older adults, and neighbors. Monitor high-risk loved ones and watch for signs of illness.
Consider pets
If your pets are outside, make sure they have access to shade and cool water. Asphalt and dark pavement can be very hot for their feet.
