How to escape the heat in summer

1. Avoid direct sunlight in the house

In order to keep the interior of the house as cool as possible, please close the blinds, curtains and windows during the day and open them for ventilation at night.

2. Find a cool place

Stay in a cool place for at least two to three hours every day. For example, supermarkets (usually with air conditioning), city libraries and cinemas.

3. Make the air circulate

Use a fan or air conditioner to make the indoor air circulate. If the air conditioner is used, it is very important to maintain it and the cooling temperature is appropriate. Theoretically, unless it is very hot weather, the indoor temperature should not be lower than the outdoor temperature by more than 5 degrees.

4. Get wet

Use a sprayer or bath towel several times a day, or take a bath to get wet.

5. Drink plenty of water

Drink plenty of water even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid drinking, because even a small drink will dehydrate the human body. Coffee or tea can't replace water. Drinking water that is too cold will not make people feel cool.

6. Plan your time out

Don't go out at the highest temperature, that is, from 11: to 21: every day.

7, sun protection

If you have to go out, please stay in the shade instead of the sun as much as possible. Wear a hat, light and loose clothes and sunscreen to protect yourself.

8. Avoid exercising

Try to avoid exercising in hot weather. If you must exercise, please choose to exercise at night and reduce the intensity of exercise to shorten the exercise time. Exercise in the shade as much as possible, and don't forget to replenish water after exercise.

9. Communicate more with relatives

Keep in touch with family members, because elderly people who live alone are particularly sensitive to hot weather.

1, emergency

If you or your family suddenly feel unwell, please call 12 for help.
