/in

It’s going to be a hot one this weekend. Here’s what you can do to beat the heat:

  1. Drink plenty of water
  2. Put on sunscreen when outside
  3. Wear loose fitting, light coloured, breathable clothing
  4. Avoid being in direct sunlight for too long
  5. Place a cold, wet towel around your neck
  6. Keep your apartment cool by closing the blinds, using AC, and limiting oven use
  7. Shower, bathe, or sponge off with cool water

And if you experience symptoms of a heat stroke (high body temperature, dizziness or fainting, confusion, and very hot and red skin), call 9-1-1.
