Essential tips to keep yourself safe in heatwave

Stay hydrated

Extreme heat can cause dehydration. It is essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated and cool.

Keep yourself cool

Keep your skin wet by using a facial mist or a damp sponge. Take cold showers to help keep yourself cool.

Wear light and comfortable clothing

Avoid overdressing or wearing tight-fitting clothes, which will make you feel warm faster. Opt for loose clothing and light fabrics such as linen or cotton, which will help the heat escape the body.

Keep your home cool

Keep your house cool and maintain an optimal indoor temperature. Close the blinds and windows or opt for blackout curtains during the day to help maintain a cooler environment.

Plan ahead

Stay indoors as much as possible. However, if you must step out, plan wisely. Monitor weather forecasts and schedule essential tasks earlier or later in the day to avoid exposure to extreme heat.
