Heat-wave advice centered on hydration and cooling: drink fluids, seek air-conditioned spaces, use public pools or shade, and check local forecasts before heading out.
Hydration guidance pushed back on myths, saying watermelon, celery, cucumbers, green grapes and even coffee can help, while electrolytes are usually unnecessary unless heat, illness or 1+ hour of exercise drives fluid loss.
Nighttime coping tips focused on lowering body temperature rather than cooling an entire room, including cold water on wrists, face or feet, a damp washcloth on the neck, or a chilled water bottle in bed.
Daily well-being suggestions widened beyond heat safety, from 30-minute post-work 'golden hours' and 5-minute hourly movement breaks to stress release, aloe for sunburn, and waiting at least 30 minutes before making a sweaty bed.
