ARIZONA WEATHER TIPS
From Arizona Department of Health
Services
When outdoors:
Wear a sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15. Apply at least
30 minutes prior to going outdoors, and re-apply as necessary.
Rest frequently in shady areas so that the body's
temperature has a chance to recover.
If unaccustomed to working or exercising in a hot
environment, gradually increase the pace and limit exercise
or work time.
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing; sunglasses
to protect the eyes; and a wide-brimmed hat to
provide shade and keep the head cool.
Take special precaution with infants and young
children by dressing them in loose, cool clothing
and shading their heads and faces with hats or an
umbrella. Protect their feet with shoes.
Tips to avoid heat-related illness:
Never leave infants, children or pets inside a
parked vehicle.
Increase fluid intake, regardless of activity
level. Don't wait until thirsty to drink fluids;
drink more liquid than ones thirst indicates.
Avoid "heat hangover." Continue to drink fluids
even after strenuous activity. This will enable
the body to maintain optimum hydration, and
help prevent the after effects of heat exposure
such as headaches and fatigue.
Avoid beverages containing alcohol, caffeine
or large amounts of sugar as they dehydrate the body.
Avoid very cold beverages as they cause stomach cramps.
Limit exercise or outdoor activity between the hours
of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is at its peak
intensity. If active during this time frame, drink
a minimum of 16 to 32 ounces of water each hour.
If air conditioning is not available, pull the shades
over the windows and use cross-ventilation and
fans to cool rooms.
Try a cool shower or bath to help cool off.
Some medications, both prescription and
over-the-counter, may increase the risk of heat
related illness. Consult your physician if you have
questions.
