August is approaching, which means that summer is coming to an end as children prepare to go back to school. But in many places around the country, August is the hottest month of the summer.
We may try to soak up the sun as much as possible before the end of summer by enjoying outdoor activities including swimming, boating, biking or gardening. But even though the weather is warm, it does not mean the end of outdoor chores and maintenance such as mowing the lawn or pulling weeds.
Regardless of what brings you outside this summer, it is important to stay cool and stay hydrated. In the hottest months of the year, our bodies become more prone to heat exhaustion, which can be dangerous and possibly lead to heat stroke. According to the National Weather Service, heat is a leading weather-related killer, and although it may not seem as threatening as a tornado or a hurricane it can be just as deadly.
