Okay, so Austin is gonna be hot for a while. Here are some tips to keep yourself cool as a cucumber (or at least a slightly wilted lettuce leaf):
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Water is your best friend. Carry a reusable water bottle everywhere you go and chug that H2O.
- Fire up the AC. This one's a no-brainer, but be sure to change your air filters regularly to keep things efficient.
- Get creative with your cool down methods. Take a cold shower, mist yourself with a spray bottle, sleep with a damp washcloth on your forehead. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
- Limit your outdoor time during the hottest part of the day. The sun is relentless, so take refuge indoors between 10 am and 4 pm.
- Embrace the night. Evenings in Austin are usually a bit cooler, so take advantage of that time to grill, hang out with friends, or go for a walk.
Stay cool, Austin! We can get through this together (with plenty of water and air conditioning breaks, of course).
