It"s way too hot! Protect Yourself from Extreme Heat

Take a break from the heat by spending a few hours in a cool place.

Take cool showers or baths until you feel refreshed.

Use a fan to help you stay cool and aim the air flow in your direction.

Dress for the weather - Wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing made from breathable fabric.

Heat illnesses include heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat fainting, heat

edema (swelling of hands, feet and ankles), heat rash and heat cramps

(muscle cramps). Heat illnesses can affect you quickly and are mainly

caused by over-exposure to heat or over-exertion in the heat.
