Tips To Keep Cool This “Memorial Day” Weekend!
This “Memorial Day” weekend is going to be hot as you can tell today! For the next couple of days, expect temps in the mid-80s or higher; with both Memorial Day and Tuesday heading towards 90.
You can also expect humidity with a chance of showers and thunderstorms today, Saturday and Sunday.
However you can beat the heat with the tips below:
- Drink plenty of water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose clothing.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat, or use an umbrella for shade.
- Slow down—rest in the shade or a cool place every chance you get.
- Stay in during the hottest part of the day (10 am to 2 pm).
- If you do not have an air conditioner, visit a senior center, a shopping mall, a public library or a friend who has air conditioning.
- Use a fan. Keep your windows open.
- Take a cool shower or bath.
Check on your friends and neighbors who are elderly or have medical conditions. For help, call the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging Senior Helpline: 215-765-9040.
