When outdoors, try to stay in shaded areas to avoid direct exposure to the sun. Use umbrellas, hats, or other protective gear to shield yourself from the sun's rays.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, especially when spending time outdoors or engaging in physical activity. Dehydration can exacerbate the effects of heat and lead to health complications.
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing in light colors that reflect sunlight rather than absorb it. Breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen can help keep you cool and comfortable in hot weather.
Use fans, air conditioning, or other cooling methods to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Close curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day to block out sunlight and reduce heat indoors.
Minimize strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you need to be outside, schedule activities for the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler.
