If there's anyone here living in the region, remember to drink water! The best method to prevent heat exhaustion or worse is to drink small amounts of water frequently, like roughly once every 30 minutes or every time you feel thirsty (whichever happens first). When all said and done, the best indicator is the color of your urine. It should be a light yellow color.
If you're working outside, make sure you're also drinking something with sodium electrolytes like liquid iv or Gatorade (other drinks like Prime aren't suitable, they pad their electrolyte count will potassium).
If at all possible, take a cold shower at the peak of the heat around noon to regulate your temperature and comfort. If you get heat exhaustion, STOP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND GET INDOORS. Heat exhaustion is the first step towards heat stroke and death. You will die in heat like this if you don't take care of yourself. Do not "tough it out" or wait "5 more minutes".
Stay safe out there
Well umm, that's kinda the trick. In Phoenix in summertime, "cold" water is cold in name only. It's more tepid than anything. That's just another part of what makes it so oppressive living there in summer.
I’m convinced that the H and C knobs are Hot and Caliente. 😅
