What to Do When Temperatures Spike
BEAT THE HEAT
Simple Steps to Stay Cool and Safe This Summer
The summer months can get incredibly hot, and this year may be even hotter. Environment and Climate Change Canada predicted that this summer could be one of the four hottest years ever recorded. As each day passes, their prediction becomes increasingly realistic. If you or your kids are planning to spend some
time outdoors over the next few months, you need to take steps to protect yourselves! Hydration is key during the summer. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty; drink plenty of water around the clock. Avoid drinking beverages with large amounts of alcohol, caffeine, or sugar, as they dehydrate you. Whenever you head outside, whether it’s to garden, play with the kids, or walk the dog, bring a water bottle. Even when you’re just driving around town, it’s a good idea to bring water in case you break down and have to walk to get help. Before heading outside, take precautions to protect your skin and avoid heat stroke. Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and throw on a wide-brimmed hat to protect your head. Sunscreen is also a must, even on days that aren’t overly sunny. If you’re going to be physically active outdoors, make sure you do
so only in the mornings and evenings. Working too hard during the peak of the day’s heat will quickly exhaust you. You can even implement home practices to help cool your house down. Avoid using your stove or oven when cooking meals, take cooler showers, and apply weatherstripping to doors and windows to help keep cool air inside. You should also cover any large windows with curtains or shades to keep the heat out. Most importantly, if you drive anywhere with your kids or pets, don’t leave them in the car. Your vehicle can reach dangerous temperatures quickly, even if the windows are down. It’s never worth the risk! We don’t have to feel sticky and hot all summer long. With the right strategies, we can stay cool and make the most of the next few months.
