Wear cool cloths:
Dress your self light-weight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, preferably of natural fabrics like cotton.
Use hats and umbrellas outside.
If the air conditioning appears to bother you, use layers such as a long-sleeved shirt or a light cloth over the ankles.
Enjoy fashion for the season:
Its time to wear sunglasses, its offers you sun protection and cute look too.
Avoid direct sun:
Stay indoors during the hottest hours, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Drive as close to the door of destinations as possible. If you want to go outside, make sure it's during cooler hours and that you are in the shade, on a covered porch, or under an umbrella.
Drink plenty of fluids:
Take plenty of water and fruit or vegetable juice even if you think you are not thirsty.
No alcohol, coffee or tea. Seek medical help if you feel dehydration.
Lemon juice, Watermelon and Mango is the best choice you can ever have for the season.
Cover windows:
During the day, pull the curtains on all windows that are in direct sunlight.
Open windows at night and use fans or cross-ventilation to circulate cooler air.
An open, uncovered window during the day will simply make the inside temperature the same as outside.
Use air conditioning:
Keep the air conditioning on below degrees. If you don't have air conditioning, invest in a room air conditioner or use room fans to circulate inside air.
If possible, Go to short distance to an air-conditioned place where you can sit, such as a library, mall, restaurant or theater. But avoid overcrowded places and rush hours.
Light meals:
Avoid hot, heavy meal. Take light food and enjoy the season.
Take cool showers:
Take a cool shower or bath. Its really good thing you can enjoy in such a hot temperature.
Eliminate or limit physical activity:
If your physician approves light exercise such as walking and movement exercises, limit them to short periods during cool hours. Eliminate entirely on very hot days.
