What to do when the temperature in hits 100 degrees?

Reach for cover and do these five things:

1. Wear light-colored, loose fitting clothes and limit strenuous outdoor activities.

2. Slather on the sunscreen. The highest rating is generally best but minimum SPF35.

3. Wear a floppy hat.

4. Drink lots of water. Add a twist of lemon or lime for flavor.

5. Carry a hand or mini electrical fan – perfect for times when you have to wait on a hot platform for the subway.

The warm weather doesn’t stick around very long so enjoy it as much as you can.

      Thanks, Klassi! I live by those tips — yesterday was nearly 100 and humid! I almost didn’t want to leave the house.
      I get a lot of compliments on that hat, it serves me well.

    I always have a hand fan in my bag.
    I haven’t found the perfect summer hat yet and summer left too soon here in the Philippines.

      Me too — I have several and I never leave home without one. How long does your summer last? I assumed you had summer almost year round.
