How Do You Keep Your Cool During a Heat Wave?

Take a dip in the pool, stay inside an air-conditioned venue: how do you beat the heat?

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory that will remain in effect from noon through 8 p.m. Monday as temperatures are estimated to hit the mid-90’s, with heat indexes spiking into the triple digits. 

The NWS suggests wearing lightweight and loose-fitting clothing, drinking plenty of water, taking frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments, staying out of the sun and checking on relatives and neighbors.

Because the sudden heat wave is a hot topic, no pun intended, we want to know, how do you beat the heat?
