Quick Heat-Beating Tips:
If possible, stay out of the sun. When in the sun, wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) and a hat to protect your face and head.
— Use an air conditioner if you have one. Set the thermostat no lower than 78 degrees.
— If you do not have an air conditioner, keep rooms well-ventilated with open windows and fans. Consider going to a public pool, air-conditioned store, mall, movie theater, or cooling center.
— Fans work best at night, when they can bring in cooler air from outside.
