When the temperatures approach dangerous levels, you need to know how to keep cool to avoid heat-related illnesses -- and even death.
Warning
People who are on fluid-restrictive diets or have a problem with fluid retention should consult a physician before increasing their consumption of fluids.
Step 1: Stay out of the sun
Stay out of the summer sun. Find shade and, if you have to be in the sun, make sure you're wearing sunscreen and a hat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing to reflect heat and sunshine.
Step 2: Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water -- even if you're not thirsty. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks as these tend to dehydrate you.
Step 3: Eat right
Avoid proteins and other foods that require an increased metabolic rate for your body to process. Increased metabolic heat production also increases water loss.
Step 4: Use cool water
Take cool showers or baths, spritz yourself with cool water from a spray bottle, drape your head and neck with towels soaked in cool water, and soak your feet in cool water baths.
Tip
Avoid extreme temperature changes, which may make you feel nauseous or dizzy.
Step 5: Use air conditioning
Use an air conditioner, or stay in well-ventilated rooms with fans if you don't have air conditioning. Spend the hottest part of the day -- 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. -- in air-conditioned places such as movie theaters or shopping centers.
Step 6: Use cooling centers
Locate a pool or cooling center in your area if you live in or near a larger city. Many municipalities use public libraries or other city buildings as cooling centers during heat waves.
Step 7: Avoid strenuous activity
Avoid physical labor, exercise, or other strenuous activity during the hottest times of the day. If you have to perform strenuous activities, do them between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Step 8: Care for friends, neighbors, loved ones
Check on the elderly, children, and people with special needs frequently during a heat wave. Now, go round up the neighborhood children, get some ice cream, and stay cool!
Did You Know?
During the summer of 1896, a heat wave that lasted for 10 days killed almost 1,500 people in New York. - Навчання та стиль

But the swimming pool is outdoors. Nothing is better at cooling than water.

After the heat wave here in California i will remember this always
I dont think you should take a cool water bath, I read somewhere that cold water will activate your body's heating so you should take a hot water shower instead so your body will instinctively cool down.
This is what I do. If build's my heat endurance
i am really sick and it causes me to heat up a lot and it is useful on cold nights
Right now I live in the Seattle area and we're going through heat waves. If u live in Spokane or somewhere eastern WA it's like 110 or more.
In a heat wave, I get a tub of cold water, ice cream, and i sit in my room with the window open no clothes on eatin ice cream and watchin a movie.
I work in a cornfield temperatures around 42 to 45 celcius, (100 - 110 F) with no breaks. 7 days a week 8 hours a day.
It was very hot in Livermore,California 3 years ago. Jasmin passed out! I was nauseous afterwards. My mom told me that San Francisco,California had a heatwave in the Fall many years ago. Just 2 let U know,I don't have air conditioning. However,I have fans @ home. I eat yogurt of any kind such as Yoplait light and Trader Joe's French Village. I used 2 eat Greek yogurt,but now it doesn't agree with me. Is yogurt OK to eat during a heatwave?

I am in Anaheim ca it is 82 degrees here Hanford where I live is somewhere in the hundreds I wished I just lived in San Francisco
Really? Heatwaves are a nuisance.
I know
How does the color of clothing have anything to do with heat?
The color black absorbs and attracts heat making you hotter if you wear dark clothing, white reflects heat keeping you cooler with lighter clothing .
Why was this posted in February when it most places it's still really cold?
In Winter?

@Allybuns137
So does my mom's car its just terrible heat here but its Dallas can't do much about it.
I put blankets on my bedroom windows and left my AC on when I went outside to work out..
I took off into my room and was fine.
It feels like 40 degrees Celsius right now. Think I feel faint?
yeah i used to live in phoenix it was awful
hey, if you don't like the weather around the Dallas area stay a day it will change!
I live in Arizona,I think i'm used to heat waves
You think 89 degrees is bad?!? Try 104 degrees I’m San Diego. There is a heat wave here right now!
This Is Why I'M Happy I Live In Alaska
step one: swim in a maybe.. Atlantic Ocean which in a closest city of the East Coast which means New York City and the river which is cold is a Hudson River.
I live in Texas. Done.
In Las Vegas, the entire summer is a heat wave. Hundred degree temperatures are completely normal to me.
My dad is always getting himself out of control w/the alcohol intake. When it comes to heatwaves,he'll end up drinking it in order 4 his body 2 dehydrate. He needs to drink a lot of water,but he doesn't listen. Why is it so important to check on the elderly,children and other people w/special needs during heatwaves?

Awesome chem trails at 2:09 =P
Where I live its 108 to 120 everyday during the summer...

One time at Canada was like 30
I have never been in a heat wave before

This is easy to survive if you live in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, or any other hot/ dry state.... At least, in my opinion...
