Temperatures Hit Upper 90s Coast to Coast

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

Happy Monday. I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone just about anywhere

in the entire US just how hot it is right now coast to coast. I will

however do that mom thing that I do (being a list mom and mom to a 6 & 3

yr old I can't help myself and remind everyone to take it easy in the

heat, stay hydrated and stay out of the direct sun as much as possible,

especially between the hours of 10AM and 4PM, when the sun is most

intense.

 

If you feel compelled to work out, do it early in the morning, in the

pool or indoors!

 

A cool wet rag or towel draped over the back of the neck can actually

keep your body temperature cooler, keep you more comfortable and help

prevent heat stroke!!!

 

Drink plenty of fluids - but stay away from alcohol and caffeine, as

those are diuretics an will only end up dehydrating you. If you feel

that you must indulge in those sort of beverages, be sure to alternate

and drink a full cup of water in between each serving of another type of

beverage.

 

Basically I'm reminding everyone to use their common sense, take it easy

and take care!

Thanks, Chris!

 

This is a good reminder to take it easy in the heat. Also, remember that

beer and wine are NOT good substitutes for good ol' H2O (something my

boyfriend is heinously guilty of that all the time!)! You need real

water, or something like Gatorade which contains electrolytes.

 

Also, when/if you do have to go out in the sun, remember your sunscreen!

It may feel a little icky sticky on your skin, but in the long run you'll

be happier for it. (My preferred level of sunscreen is " SPF Indoors " !)

Oh, and a hat and sunglasses, too!

 

Karen

Happy Monday. I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone just about anywhere

[Dave:] Hi, Chris. Sure has been hot in southern CA! It was 107° here on

Saturday. I think it was maybe about 100° yesterday, so it’s cooling off a

little. Some nice high clouds today. You folks in humid areas really have

to watch the hydration. And make sure to add some humectants to your soaps

– it’s a good time for honey and castor oil!

I was just speaking to my mother in Ontario and it was over 40c, which

is way too high for that area. I reminded her to drink water and she

is diabetic. She is in her 74th year of life and told her I wanted to

keep her around a few more years. But she did not sound that good when

she spoke to me so I told her to call a taxi and go to the mall and

just sit there in the air conditioning, she does not have ac at home

just a fan. She laughed at me so again I reminded her to drink water

please.

 

Thanks for the reminder to remind.
