Stay chill…
• Air-conditioning is your new friend!
• Minimize exposure to the sun between the hours of 10:00 am to 4:00 pm when UV rays are most damaging.
• Allow fresh air to flow throughout your living space, and close curtains/blinds on west-facing windows during daylight hours.
• Use electric fans to eliminate hot air from rooms or draw in cooler air.
• Wear lite clothing and cover your skin from the sunlight.
• A cool compress, mister, and cool showers can be your new friend.
• Refrain from hot meals.
• Do NOT leave any baby, kid or pet in a parked vehicle.
• Dress little ones in lightweight, lightly-colored outfits.
• Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 15 prior to venturing outdoors.
