All about Staying Cool in Hot Weather
Hot weather can make you dehydrated and overheated, which can cause headaches, dizziness and heat exhaustion. Drink plenty of water, wear light and loose clothing, rest in the shade and take breaks when playing outdoors.
Never leave anyone, especially a child or a pet, alone in a parked car, even for a short time. The temperature inside a car can rise very quickly and become dangerous. If someone feels faint, confused or very unwell in the heat, get them into the shade and call for help.
