Daniels Air

Plan outdoor activities in the shade during mornings or wait until evening. The sun is less intense at these times, minimizing the chance for sunburn or heat exhaustion.

Alternate between the indoors and outdoors throughout the day. While sightseeing, try to spend most of your time in air-conditioned buildings.

Take advantage of the heat to go swimming or tubing. Texas is full of rivers and swimming holes that are perfect answers to the sweltering sun. Showering several times a day can also do the trick.

Drink plenty of water, which cools you from the inside out. Bring along extra bottles in case you run out.

Wear cool clothing in pale colors, which don't absorb as much sun. Make sure that your clothes are loose-fitting and lightweight. Shorts, shortsleeves, and flip-flops are always good options. Hats also help to cope with the heat.
