Keeping Cool During Your Summer Outdoor Activities in East Syracuse

Summer is usually a crazy time of year for many folks in East Syracuse. Whether it’s a family reunion, a long vacation or any number of other exciting activities, summer not only brings about crazy schedules, but that dreaded East Syracuse heat as well.

We know you’ve already covered all of your AC repair and air conditioner service needs well in advance of summer, so what else can you do to stay cool during those days where you can’t escape to an air conditioned oasis? The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has five pointers:

• Stay in air conditioned places as much as you can. Of course, outdoor activities make this tough, but if you are able to take a quick break and utilize an air conditioned building at a park or a vehicle’s air conditioning, do it.
  
  
• Drink plenty of fluids. Sip on your drink even if you don't feel thirsty, as thirst can be an early warning of dehydration. If you begin having muscle cramps, take a few moments to rest as it may also be an early indicator of dehydration or a different heat-related illness.
  
  
• Take special considerations when organizing outdoor activities. Any sort of workout or athletic practices should be done earlier or later in the day when the East Syracuse temperatures are cooler.
  
  
• Dress to stay cooler in higher temperatures. Light-colored, lightweight and loose-fitting clothing are your best bet.
  
  
• Keep your shower or bath a little colder than typical. It can help you cool down a little sooner so you can get back to basking in your home’s air conditioning.

Spending time outdoors is what summer is all about, but staying safe in the East Syracuse heat is a requirement. And when you do finally make it back to air conditioning, make sure you’ve covered all of your AC repair and air conditioner service needs so you never have to worry about it breaking down in the heat of the summer.
