Summers are getting hotter and more humid in Michigan. Stay healthy by taking a few precautions during the summer months:
• Limit your time in the heat.
• Stay hydrated by drinking water.
• Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Avoid direct sunlight.
• When it is above 90° F, find somewhere with air conditioning or take cool showers or baths. Fans can help to cool off, but only if they blow directly on you. Learn more at Michigan.gov/ClimateandHealth.
