How to deal with the hot weather

Dress Lightly

It is better to wear lightweight, loose-fitting, absorbent materials like cotton work best. Keep it to one layer. And look for lighter colours because darker ones can absorb the heat and make you hotter.

Choose the Right Bedding

Cotton or linen sheet is best to let enough air in, keep you cool, and wick away sweat. Polyester/cotton blends won’t keep you as cool and dry. After that, look for a “thread count” of 200 to 400. More than that means the fabric won’t breathe as well and might trap more heat and moisture

Chill Your Sheets

Place your sheets into freezer or refrigerator and then place them back into the bed. Use a resealable plastic bag so they don’t touch food, moisture, or ice. The chill won’t remain all night, but it may last long enough for you to fall asleep

Take a Cool Shower

A bath or even a simple sponging off with cold water will work, too. It should help cool your body. And warm water also works because you cool down as the water evaporates from your skin and hair. But try not to steam up the bathroom too much. That could make things worse.

Frozen (Hot) Water Bottle

Fill water bottles and place them in the freezer or refrigerator but dont forget to use towel to cover them and to prevent contact with skin before drinking.

Move the Air

Air conditioning is your best bet if you have it. When you feel hot, simply turn the temperature down. If that’s not an option, you can get the air moving with a fan or two or three. Create a path for the air through open windows. For an even bigger cooling boost, put an oven roasting pan full of ice cubes in front of the fan

Ice It Down

You can use ice pack or wet a towel with cold water and put it on “pulse points” like your wrists, ankles, the crooks of your elbows, and the backs of your knees. Just be sure to cover your skin with a towel to protect it, and only do it for 20 minutes at a time

Wear Sunscreen

Sunscreen is needed in the hot weather to prevent dehydration. Put on SPF 30 or higher about 30 minutes before you go outside. If you stay outdoors, you’ll need to reapply it throughout the day

Ease Into It

If you are exercsing in a hot place you dont need to over-exercise instead you need to slowly add more activity over 2 weeks to get used to it. If you feel faint, lie down and raise your legs above your head. Try to get to a cool area and drink fluids as soon as possible

Watch the Caffeine

Coffee, chocolate tea, sodas, sports drinks, and many non-prescription drugs contain caffeine and they boost energy and the result will be high temperature so watch your caffeine adn read packages carefully.

Skip the Booze

Drinking alcohol may cause hot flashes and increase warm. In addition if you are too hot you may feel nausea or dizziness.

Change Beds

Try to change your own bed as sharing bed with your partner can make you warm throughout the winter season but you may not need it in the hot weather and choose a room when the temperature is cool.

Drink Water

We all know that water is the most powerful hydrating fluid so make sure to drink water every 15 minutes in the hot weather.
