Below are a few precautions you can take to stay safe and keep cool: Hydrate Regularly - Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid sugary or alcoholic drinks that can dehydrate you. Dress Smart - Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to help your body stay cool. Limit Outdoor Activities - If possible, stay indoors during peak heat hours (10 AM - 4 PM).
