Summer is once again upon us and with it, hot and humid days as well as warm and muggy nights.  Most of the time the conditions are bearable for hardy southerners, but occasionally a combination of unusually high temperatures and high humidity will test even the hardiest of these.

Heat Safety Tips 

·        Slow down - strenuous activities should be reduced, eliminated or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day. 

·        Dress for summer - lightweight light-colored clothing reflects heat and sunlight, and helps your body maintain normal temperatures. 

·        Drink plenty of water or other non-alcoholic fluids. 

·        Spend more time in air-conditioned locations. 

·        Don’t get too much sun, and use a strong sunscreen!
