Here are ways to stay safe during extreme heat
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Try to stay indoors, especially during the hottest parts of the day (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.).
If you have access to air conditioning, use it to cool down.
Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-colored clothing.
Taking a cool shower or bath can help lower your body temperature.
Reduce physical activity, especially during the hottest part of the day.
Additionally, keep an eye on weather reports for heatwave warnings and follow any advice or guidelines issued by local health authorities.
