Even though the temperatures will not be as hot, please remember the following tips for avoiding the intense heat and humidity – which WILL be returning!

Try to stay cool and make those preparations to stay safe from the heat! Just a few of those precautions:

1) Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors as they attract more heat.

2) Try & limit strenuous outdoor activity to the early morning hours.

3) Take frequent breaks, preferably in shaded areas.

4) Stay properly & thoroughly hydrated. Hydrate well in advance of outdoor exercise or work.

5) Do NOT leave children or pets in your car – not even for a few minutes.

6) Bring your animals inside if possible – if not, make sure they have a proper supply of cool water and shade.

7) Check on your elderly friends and neighbors and help them avoid heat-related issues as well.

8) If you’re grilling outside or camping, use extra caution on those fires! Our fire danger is very high, and remember:  Outdoor fires usually double in size every sixty seconds! Also, when cooking or around a campfire outdoors, please make sure you have a fire extinguisher nearby.
