It was a sizzling hot day yesterday! When the sun shines, it instills optimism and helps us to improve our mood. I am very happy because it was an excellent opportunity to sunbathe and, furthermore, admire the cloudless, blue sky. Ok, but we should remember that sunny weather can be not only fun but also very serious threat. When we relax and focus on our senses, we daydream. I would like to draw your attention to animals (chiefly to pets). According to American Veterinary Medical Association:
"Every year, hundreds of pets die from heat exhaustion because they are left in parked vehicles. We've heard the excuses: "Oh, it will just be a few minutes while I go into the store," or "But I cracked the windows..." These excuses don't amount to much if your pet becomes seriously ill or dies from being left in a vehicle." (https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/pets-in-vehicles.aspx)
It is worth having in mind that the temperature into our vehicle rises in no time at all. We must not jeopardised our friends and we have to keep an eye on them. Moreover, we should take care of ourselves. How? It is as easy as anything.
Firstly, the sun is at its full intensity between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM and we should avoid getting burnt. An exposure to the sun is detrimental to our health: it has been proven by scientific means. Don't forget about sunscreen: you should spread it on the whole body.What is more, we should be well hydrated: heat waves can cause a major problem. What about our clothing? I recommend you to avoid synthetic fabrics and choose some loose and convenient outfit. It goes without saying that we have to remember about some headgear.
I hope the weather will be fine tomorrow :)
