While you might have been waiting for this warm summer weather to come after a long, cold winter, sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. In any case, no one can control the weather, so take our advice on how to beat the heat and stay safe this summer.

Water is your best friend. Always stay hydrated; drink a glass of water when you wake up in the morning to start the day strong. You can also cool off with cold showers and wet washcloths as you need them on your neck, temples, wrists, elbow bends and behind the knees.

When making plans for your

Presented by Concord Reserve day, push your outdoor activities like exercising to the early morning or late evening. And when that’s not possible or appealing, scale down the intensity or length of your workout or excursion. Keep in mind, you’re more prone to sunburn between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. What you wear can make a difference. Avoid synthetic fabrics and wear loose or lightweight, breathable materials like linen or cotton. Opting for a stylish hat, sunglasses and umbrella will keep the sun’s rays out of your face and eyes.

Of course, you’ll also want to make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen, too. Wherever you have exposed skin and no matter how long you’ll be outside, sunscreen will protect you from burning.

And if you choose to stay at home, make sure you have the fan or air conditioning going and keep your home insulated with closed windows, blinds, shades, curtains and doors to unused rooms. At Concord Reserve, you won’t miss out on social activities because of the heat. Schedule your tour today and see what events are waiting for you.
