I live in northern Oregon, and yeah it gets hot here cuz our valley is kinda dry, but regularly over 95° is NOT normal. And last summer for a week+, we had daytime temps of like 105° and above. Usually more like 112°, with the highest I saw or going to being 118°. It was so ridiculous and almost none of the AC units we have around here seemed to help much. And at night, it would still be in the 90s. This week, we're heading into another heat wave. I saw it get up to 102° today, and it's supposed to get up to similar temps as last year as the week progresses. It Is Awful. And our animals are suffering for it too. Drink as many fluids as you can. I know juice isn't the greatest, but as long as it doesn't have caffeine, as much liquid as possible helps, especially for people who are regularly dehydrated (I learned that in nursing school). Take as many breaks as possible. If you start to feel sick or just Really Off while outside, especially in the sun, take a rest asap. And I mean asap. Get out of the sun, get some chilled fluid into you, and get to some AC if possible. Feeling sick in the sun, especially suddenly, can be a bad sign from what I've learned. And if you're on anxiety/depression meds, be even more careful in the sun. Not all cause this issue, but many of those meds cause issues with heat intolerance in many people. I've always had issue with the heat, but ever since I've been on my meds for the last 5 years, it's been far worse. Working out in the sun in 80+° weather for 30+ minutes tends to cause me to feel weak and sick. I have to take it in chunks, especially in weather like this. Be careful, be prepared for needed breaks. If you were a job where breaks aren't frequently possible, tell your boss about your increased chance of heat-related health concerns due to the meds you take, medical conditions, etc. Remind them it could be life threatening. If they don't want to do anything about it, try to go to someone higher up if possible and remind them of the serious health concerns that could happen.
For pets, definitely make sure they have enough shade while outside. Watch them for signs of heat intolerance issues, and don't take them outside much during hot times if so. Or, just to be safe, don't take them out if you don't want to be out there either. Ensure there is plenty of shade when they're out. Make sure to bring lots of water for both yourself and them (that can be easy to forget). They can get wet too to dry off, but DO NOT put the water directly on their back when you start getting them wet. If they're hot enough, that WILL shock their system and they can instantly die from it. One year at our county fair during a particularly hot summer as a kid, many kids lost their pigs at fair because they tried to spray them down to cool them off. They put the water straight on their back, this shocked their system, their heart almost instantly stopped, and they died. Instead, start at the feet, work up the legs, get their belly/chest wet, then their neck and sides, then their back. Their legs won't send such a shock to the heart due to not being as close to the heart or spinal cord (aka nervous system), and gradually working it up gives their body time to adjust. Also, get the OUTSIDE of their ears really wet with a wash cloth/towel. Their ears have lots of vasculature close to the outer layer of skin, so the water cools off the blood and rest of the body easier when picked up from there (kinda like how getting our forearms sopping wet can help you cool down quicker, as we have a lot of veins/arteries closer to the surface there). Their armpits/flanks and stomachs are always great places to really soak, as those areas tend to be more free of fur/wool. These tips and tricks have helped us a TON with cooling off our cows and sheep when they overheat, because they cant exactly come in the house. Force them into the shade, gradually rinse off their whole body from the ground up (get them as wet as you can, if circumstances allow), and get the outside of their ears very wet. Drape a wet towel on them if you have to as well. And some dogs love having frozen treats, like you can freeze some of their treats in a broth/water solution and then give it to them. Some pet stores also have toys meant for this. However, always clear it with a trustworthy vet before you choose what to give them in that treat so you don't accidentally make the situation worse.
Also, bugs love this weather and love to bother you because of it. Like flies and whatnot. They get all over our cows (one reason why I hate summer with a passion). Bug spray for yourself is great if you get bothered by a lot of bugs, as it can help you feel at least a little better in the heat. Your pet may need a pet-friendly version too (some livestock sprays may also be safe for your small animals and may be easier to find. Look at the label, as it may say if it's safe for small and large animals. In my experience, those bug sprays are usually also safe for humans. But make sure just in case. Also they don't tend to smell great, but as long as it's safe that's not the end of the world). And, as always, WEAR SUNSCREEN. Dealing with a nasty burn in this heat is not good. Water, electrolytes, a little juice if you need to break the monotony, sunscreen, rinsing yourself and your pets down in certain ways, etc. There's lots of tips, and I definitely did not get them all, but they all help at least some. It's always good to ask for tips, cuz you never know what you'll find. And again, don't forget about your pets. They need help with the heat too, as they can overheat just as easily as us but can't exactly tell us outright. Watch for the signs and help them too.
For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, “Don’t make fun of them, they’ve never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn’t made for snow and freezing.”
This one is for you.
Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.
Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.
First of all. Don’t make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn’t built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn’t built for heat and a lot of their homes don’t have AC.
If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The “humidity makes it feel cooler” is a lie once it gets beyond a point.
If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.
Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It’s just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can’t afford a small AC unit because they’re expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).
If you have pets, those portable AC units aren’t safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it’ll leak CO2. Window units are safer.
Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that’s life.
Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don’t, I’ve seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It’s not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.
If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They’re made with a breathable material.
Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don’t think shade will save you from heat stroke.
I know the “drink your water” is a fun meme now, but if you’re sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don’t care if you’re fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.
Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!
Heat exhaustion is more, “drink water and get you cooled off.” Heat stroke is more “Oh my god call 911.”
Be safe.
