Tips for dealing with the heat

The Red Cross and the National Weather Service (NWS) have a series of recommendations for combating hot days and avoiding health problems.

  • The general basic recommendation is to hydrate, dress cool, and protect yourself from the sun if you will be doing outdoor activities.
  • One of the first warnings concerns the vehicle, because the heat in a car can be deadly. “Never leave children or pets in your car. The temperature inside a car can quickly reach 120 degrees,” the Red Cross notes.
  • It is also recommended to avoid excessive consumption of drinks containing caffeine or alcohol.
  • If you don’t have air conditioning, seek relief from the heat during the hottest hours of the day in places like libraries, theaters, and malls.
  • It is also advisable to avoid extreme temperature changes. Avoid exercising outdoors during the hottest hours of the day.
  • Take frequent breaks if you work outside, frequently check that pets are not overheated, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water and shade.
