What to do when the temperature in hits 100 degrees?
Reach for cover and do these five things:
1. Wear light-colored, loose fitting clothes and limit strenuous outdoor activities.
2. Slather on the sunscreen. The highest rating is generally best but minimum SPF35.
3. Wear a floppy hat.
4. Drink lots of water. Add a twist of lemon or lime for flavor.
5. Carry a hand or mini electrical fan – perfect for times when you have to wait on a hot platform for the subway.
The warm weather doesn’t stick around very long so enjoy it as much as you can.
I always have a hand fan in my bag.
I haven’t found the perfect summer hat yet and summer left too soon here in the Philippines.
The 5 tips are great. The hat is fabulous, a luxurious combination of materials.
Thanks, Klassi! I live by those tips — yesterday was nearly 100 and humid! I almost didn’t want to leave the house.
I get a lot of compliments on that hat, it serves me well.
Thanks for visiting,

Me too — I have several and I never leave home without one. How long does your summer last? I assumed you had summer almost year round.
