Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, and the National Weather Service offers several recommendations for heat wave safety:
• Reduce, eliminate or reschedule strenuous activities until the coolest time of the day.
• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing to reflect heat and sunlight.
• Drink plenty of water and decaffeinated fluids.
• Spend more time in air-conditioned places.
• Stay out of the sun. Sunburn reduces your body's ability to dissipate heat.
