🌞 Stay Cool and Safe in the Heat! Summer is truly here, and while it's great to enjoy the sunshine, it's important to take care of ourselves in the heat. When temperatures soar, our health can be at risk, so here are a few tips to stay cool and safe. Firstly, hydration is key. Ensure you're sipping water throughout the day, not just when you're thirsty. This is especially crucial if you're out and about in the sun.

Safety tips Use water wisely Drink about 1 cup of water per hour and at least 2-3 liters / 0.5-0.8 gallon per day. • Wet your skin using a damp cloth, spray, or wet clothing. Keep yourself cool When below 40°C/104°F, fans cool the body. Do not use fans above 40°C/104°F as the fans will heat the body. •If you are using AC, set the thermostat to 27°C/81°F and add a room fan. This will make the room feel 4°C/7°F cooler. •Seek shade and remember that it can be cooler outside in the shade. Stay safe • Extreme heat can be deadly. Avoid vigorous activity at peak heat hours. Seek medical attention if you or others feel faint, dizzy, or nauseous. Check on elderly above 65 years, neighbors, family, and friends.
