Take cool showers or baths.
Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
Use your oven less to help reduce the temperature in your home.
If you’re outside, find shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect your face.

Avoid high-energy activities or work outdoors during the midday heat, if possible.
Check on family members, older adults, and neighbors.
Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
