Oh my goodness it's Hot again today. A heat wave has enveloped a good portion of the country. Our friends in Ky. will see actual temps hovering between 106 and 107. We, thankfully, here in MI will be about 94.
Time to take a few precautions:
Stay Hydrated: drink lots of water and other fluids.
Stay out of the sun: if you don't have to be out in the Sun, don't be. Save yard work and such for the early morning and late evening hours.
Make sure to monitor your kids outside play time: kids love the summer, water, and their outside play time. Little ones especially may not realize it's time to go in to cool off.
Sunscreen for everyone even Mom and Dad
Pets need to come inside when there are heat advisories. If you can't bring your pet inside, make sure they have lots of shade, Plenty of fresh cold water, a great idea is a pool if they like water. cools them off quickly.
Make sure to put out several bowls of fresh cold water for other critters especially if it's been dry. all our animal friends need a little help in this kind of heat.
Check on your elderly neighbors: Sometimes we don't realize that our Senior friends may not be able to install air conditioners, fans, etc. They may not be able to open their windows. Do a Neighbor check especially in hot weather and make sure everyone is cool and feeling great.
The great thing about this kind of weather is that it never lasts to long. Especially here in Michigan.
Stay cool...
