Dress for Success
Light-colored, loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton can help you stay cool. Don’t forget your sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat for added sun protection.

Chill Out Indoors
If the heat gets too intense, take a break indoors. Visit local spots like the library, mall, or a movie theater to enjoy some air-conditioned relief.

Make a splash at local swimming spots! Whether it’s the beach, a community pool, or a water park, a dip in the water can be the perfect way to cool down.
