⏰ Shift Outdoor Time: Limit heavy outdoor activities to early morning or late evening when temps drop slightly.
👕 Dress Light: Opt for loose-fitting, light-colored clothing and a wide-brimmed hat when stepping out.
👵 Check on Neighbors: Take 2 minutes to check on neighbors or anyone without reliable A/C.
