Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest. If you must be outside, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces as often as possible. Check on elderly neighbors or those without air conditioning, as extreme heat can be dangerous for vulnerable populations. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and apply sunscreen if spending time outdoors. Be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion, such as heavy sweating, weakness, and dizziness, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
