High humidity during heatwaves makes temperatures feel hotter and impairs the body's ability to cool down through sweating, posing health risks especially to vulnerable groups. To stay safe, people should hydrate, wear loose clothing, use air conditioning or visit cooling centers, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat and humidity.
As temperatures rise, car interiors can become unbearably hot, even in the shade. Strategies to keep your car's interior cooler in the summer include using cool packs for the seats, keeping instant cold packs in the trunk, using a pot holder or oven mitt for hot seatbelts, draping a white towel over the steering wheel, and using a windshield sun shade. While lighter-colored interiors may be slightly cooler, both light and dark interiors can reach temperatures exceeding 100°F (38°C) in hot weather.
