Hot Weather Tips 7/2/15

Seattle will be getting more hot weather over this holiday weekend. Here are some tips on how to stay safe and comfortable in the heat.


-Drink plenty of water. Beverages with alcohol, caffeine and/or lots of sugar can actually dehydrate you. Keep water with you whenever you are outside.
-Stay out of the direct sunlight from 11am-2pm. That is when the sun is strongest. If you can't avoid being outside, make sure to apply sunscreen and give yourself plenty of chances to rest.
-Do not leave children or pets alone in your vehicle for any length of time. The temperature can increase quickly and lead to heatstroke or other health problems.
-If you don't have air conditioning in your home, consider going to a library, mall or other public space with air conditioning.
-Check in with elderly neighbors and family members. Older folks are more susceptible to complications from the heat.
-Watch out for heat stroke or heat exhaustion. Symptoms of heat stroke include:
  • An extremely high body temperature (above 103°F)
  • Red, hot, and dry skin
  • Rapid, strong pulse
  • Nausea, confusion and unconsciousness

 If you see someone with signs of overheating, move the person to a cooler location, have them rest for a few minutes and then slowly drink a cool beverage. Get medical attention for them immediately if they do not feel better.

  1. Hello everyone out there, help me Thank Dr UGO! My name is MRS LINDA from Netherlands. I am here to give testimony on how I got my ex husband back, my husband left me for no reason 6 Months. He moved in with another woman, I felt like killing myself, my life became very bitter and sorrowful. Then 1 day, a friend of mine told me about a great spell caster that is very good and she said that he told her all about her life history and the problem she is facing, I didn't believe it because I've worked with so many of them and it didn't work. She begged me further so I decided to try this great spell caster called Great Dr UGO. I still didn't believe, but inside me I wanted to give a try and as God will have it, I used the spell solution he gave me and the next day I received a call from my darling husband Romero last month. He apologized and came back to me. I'm very happy now with my family it worked for me and I believe it will work for you too just give him a try and follow up this is a clear truth from a testifier. Thank you Dr UGO once again, if you want to reach him via email:(dr.ugo.temple@gmail.com)
