California's first heat wave of the year could last into next week. Here are some tips on how to stay safe and cool during hot weather.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that California temperatures in June, July and August will be warmer than normal.Drinking more water than you’re used to, and drinking it before you’re thirsty, will help keep you, Farfan said. If you’re outdoors and sweating, the standard is to drink two to four cups of water, or about 16 to 32 ounces of fluid, every hour.
He also suggested adding electrolytes to water or drinking sports drinks to help your body replenish the salt and minerals you lose from sweating. One way to tell if you’re sufficiently hydrated is to pay attention to your pee. Urine that’s dark yellow or even brownish is a sign that you need to drink more fluids. “Usually, the rule of thumb is that if you’re staying well-hydrated, your urine should be a light yellow color,” he said. And if you’re urinating less than you’re used to, it’s probably time to drink up.
According to the CDC, signs for heat exhaustion include heavy sweating; cold, pale and clammy skin; a fast, weak heart pulse; nausea or vomiting; muscle cramps; tiredness or weakness; dizziness; headache; and passing out. If you have these symptoms, move to a cool area; loosen your clothes; put cool, wet clothes on your body or take a cool shower; and sip water.
Get medical help right away if you’re throwing up, your symptoms get worse, or if they last for more than an hour.
