Todayβs Forecast:
Recreating in a national park this summer? Don't let the heat cause a wicked meltdown.
π§ Stay hydrated and drink before you feel thirsty. The amount of water you need may increase if you are doing a strenuous activity.
π₯¨ Pack salty snacks to replace the electrolytes you lose through sweat during your activity.
π Donβt forget the sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses to minimize exposure to the sun and prevent damage from UV light.
π Pack lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothes to keep cool. Dark colors can absorb heat from the sun and increase your body temperature.
π³Take frequent breaks to give your body a rest. Rest under shade whenever possible to help your body cool off. Trees often throw the best shade.
