Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Steer clear of alcohol and caffeinated beverages as these might exacerbate dehydration.
Opt for lightweight, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton. Wear full-sleeved clothes to protect your hands.
Try to plan your outdoor activities for the early or late hours of the day, when it's cooler outside.
Use sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin against sunburn and potential long-term harm. Don't forget to reapply it frequently.
Consider taking multiple showers throughout the day to stay cool. Showers can help lower your body temperature and provide relief from the heat.
Choose meals that are light and easy to digest so you won't feel heavy in the heat. Make sure your diet is rich in hydrating fruits and vegetables.
Use fans or air conditioning, close drapes or blinds during the day, and make sure your home has adequate airflow to keep it cool.
When outdoors, use an umbrella, hat or wrap a scarf around your head to protect yourself from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
To help you cool down, use ice packs or cold towels on your neck, wrists, and forehead.
Avoid vigorous and excessive physical activities in hot and humid weather as it can rapidly raise your body's core temperature, putting you at risk of heat stroke.
