Take extra care if you work or spend time outside.
When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
To reduce risk during outdoor work the occupational safety and health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments.
