If you plan to be outside for an extended period of time in the

possible and drink abundant amounts of water. Wear light-colored
and loose-fitting clothing. If you wear a wide-brimmed hat... your
head and body will be much cooler. Stop outdoor activities...
drink lots of water or other non-alcoholic beverages... and if
possible... spend more time in air-conditioned or well-ventilated
places.
