Bonus Heat-Beating Habits

  • Hydrate early and often. Start drinking water before you feel thirsty, and drop an electrolyte tablet into your bottle for faster recovery.
  • Dress smart. Lightweight synthetics wick sweat better than cotton and dry quickly in sticky air.
  • Mind the clock. Plan yardwork before 10 a.m. or after sunset when the heat index eases.
  • Know the warning signs. Dizziness, nausea, and a racing pulse can signal heat exhaustion—seek shade or air-conditioning immediately.
