10) Preparing for the heat. Some tips below from our Texas crew:
– Stay hydrated! Bring a reusable water bottle and be sure to drink more water than you normally would.
– Want to go super pro? Bring an umbrella to keep some of the sun off you while you’re outside! It’s amazing what a difference that can make.
– If possible stick with lightweight clothing materials like linen, seersucker, cotton, etc. Looser clothes are also helpful.
– Don’t hesitate to ask for help or take a break in the A/C if you begin to feel faint, nauseous, or become pale. This may be the start of a heat-related illness. Check out this chart from the CDC for helpful tips and symptom ID. https://www.cdc.gov/
Texas heat is no joke if you’re not used to it, but it is definitely manageable if you take some precautions!
See y’all down in Houston!
