With the current hot temperatures, QMD has advised the public to avoid direct sunlight.

As the heat persists, below are some tips that might come in handy:

Keep hydrated: With rising temperatures that cause more perspiration, the chances of dehydration are higher.  It is therefore recommended to keep a water bottle with you wherever you are and keep sipping some water throughout the day!

Stay Indoors: As high temperatures continue, avoid unnecessary outdoor activity, particularly midday when the sun is the hottest. Try to stay in cooler, air-conditioned spaces and keep curtains or blinds drawn to prevent heat from seeping in.

Light Clothing: Wear clothes that are lightweight, light-colored, and comfortable to carry during the heat.  Wearing anything that is unfavorable in terms of heavy material may result in heat-related illnesses.

Eat Fresh, Eat Light: Having the right kind of food is super important during this weather. Opt for fresh hydrating veggies and fruits such as cucumber, carrots, lettuce, watermelon, berries, etc. Such food will give you that extra energy you think the sun drains out!
