What is a heatwave?

A heat wave is a period of unusually hot weather that typically lasts two or more days. To be considered a heat wave, the temperatures have to be outside the historical averages for a given area.

Heat waves like this may be less exciting or dramatic than other natural disasters like tornados, hurricanes, flooding, or even thunderstorms, but heat waves kill more people in the United States than all other weather-related disasters combined.?

Tips to stay safe during a heatwave

• Take it easy. Slow down and avoid doing strenuous work.
• Dress for the weather. Wear lightweight, light coloured clothing.
• Avoid high-protein foods and meat. Eating these can increase your body’s heat production.
• Drink lots of water. Unless you have a condition that is affected by changing how much fluid you drink, it’s a good idea to keep as hydrated as possible.

• Find an air-conditioned place to hang out. Don’t have an air conditioner of your own? Find a friend with one, or go to a public place like a library that has one.
• Avoid getting too much sun. Sunburns make it harder for your body to cool off.
• Be very careful in cars. Cars heat up extremely fast. You should never spend time in a parked car with windows closed, and you should always be wary of hot metal objects both inside (like seatbelt buckles) and outside the car.?
