Follow these hot weather tips and have a great vacation!
Slow down - strenuous activities should be reduced or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day.
Dress for summer - wear light-weight, and light-coloured clothing
Stay hydrated - your body needs water to stay cool. Even if you don't feel thirsty, continue to drink water
Don't get too much sun - sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult
Make sure you use a good suntan protection because, even if it appears cloudy, you can still get burnt
If you have little ones, a head covering with neck protection is a good idea as well as wearing an old T-shirt whilst in the pool
Spend more time in air-conditioned places - spending time in
air-conditioned buildings (or cars) makes the body's job of staying cool that much easier
Do not drink alcoholic beverages - the intake of alcohol only leads to further dehydration
