Open windows to release trapped hot air. Some medications cause an adverse reaction in hot weather so persons taking meds should consult with their doctor. Wear lightweight clothing. Drink non-alcoholic liquids, warm or cool. Shower or bathe in water that is near skin temperature. Maintain a normal diet.
