Whether you're outside working or playing in the heat, the NWS has these tips for you.
Do the most of your work in the morning and late afternoon when it's the coolest.
Drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks and go to a shaded area frequently.
Wear lighted colored clothing and if you feel to overheated seek medical help.
Watch out for your friends, family, neighbors and especially the elderly in this heat. They might not recognize the signs of heat exhaustion in themselves.
