Keeping Cool During Your Summer Outdoor Activities in Daytona Beach

Summer is normally a busy time of year for many folks in Daytona Beach. Whether it’s a family reunion, a long vacation or any number of other fun activities, summer not only brings about busy schedules, but that dreaded Daytona Beach heat as well.

We know you’ve already taken care of all of your AC repair and air conditioner service needs way before summer arrived, so what else can you do to stay cool during those days where you can’t escape to an air conditioned oasis? The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a couple tips:

• Stay in air conditioned places as much as you can. Of course, outdoor activities make this difficult, but if you are able to take a quick break and utilize an air conditioned building at a park or a vehicle’s air conditioning, do so.
  
  
• Drink plenty of fluids. Sip on your drink even if you don't think thirsty, as thirst can be an early indicator of dehydration. If you begin noticing muscle cramps, take a break as it may also be an early sign of dehydration or another heat-related illness.
  
  
• Take precautions when organizing outdoor activities. Any type of workout or athletic practices should be held earlier or later in the day when the Daytona Beach temperatures are more tolerable.
  
  
• Dress to stay cooler in higher temperatures. Light-colored, lightweight and loose-fitting clothing are your best choice.
  
  
• Keep your shower or bath a little more cool than typical. It can help you cool down a bit sooner so you can get back to enjoying your home’s air conditioning.

Spending time outdoors is what summer is all about, but staying safe in the Daytona Beach heat is non-negotiable. And when you do finally make it back to air conditioning, make sure you’ve taken care of all of your AC repair and air conditioner service needs so you do not have to worry about it not working in the heat of the summer.
