Yeah, after the snow storms,\u00a0tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and cyclones – it is the time for heat waves. The entire nation is captured by extreme temperatures and much more heat indexes. Stay hydrated and cool during the rest of the little summer we are going to have. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The much awaited summer does not seem to please any body. People planning for vacations and trips during the summer have to deal with the extreme temperatures apart from unemployment, \u00a0high fuel rates,\u00a0construction zones (huh) and speeding tickets! The heat is in deed a concern for people without air conditioning and proper ways to cool down. Here is how you can stay safe and cool during the scorching summer.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Drink a lot of water for every couple of hours. Lemonades and mineral water may help in getting more minerals and nutrients.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not leave the children in the car. Try to switch on the car before you all can get in to get the car to normal temperatures.<\/li>\n
  3. The swimming pools and other water bodies are good to keep cool though may not be suggested during the extreme temperatures.<\/li>\n
  4. Avoid travel and all outings during the heat waves. Outdoor activities and camps are not suggested when there is 120 degrees heat index.<\/li>\n
  5. Wear loose fitting clothes and light shades as the darker ones attract more heat. Sun screen, cooling glasses, and hats are good accessories.<\/li>\n
  6. Notice for extreme nausea, tiredness, and loss of fluids and contact ER if needed. Timely actions may avoid in dangerous\u00a0situations.<\/li>\n
  7. People with chronic diseases, elder people, and children must be examined for any tiredness or symptoms of dehydration or sun strokes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    I wonder where did all the snow vanish and I suppose the global warming is really kicking in. In door air conditioned malls or libraries are best for killing the time rather than the hot 200 degrees temperatures outside. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
