Many popular tourist destinations have faced record-breaking temperatures this summer, but this hasn’t stopped people from traveling. If you’re planning on taking a trip during this heatwave, here are a few tips on how to stay safe while enjoying your vacation.
Dress Appropriately
We don’t have to stress that jeans are out of the question during a heatwave, as well as black clothes, because they absorb heat. Try to pack lightweight clothing like white linen dress or shorts that you can combine with different tops. Comfortable shoes and a hat that will protect you from the sun are also a must.
Hydrate
Whether you’re traveling or not, drinking plenty of water is the number one rule during summer. This is particularly important if you’re traveling to a country with low or high humidity.
Avoid Midday Heat
Plan your schedule accordingly and reserve early morning and late evening hours for sightseeing. In some countries, the hottest part of the day can last as late as 6 or 7 p.m. Use this time to rest and then you can continue with your activities.
Wear Sunscreen
When packing for your summer trip, don’t forget to bring sunscreens of varying factors. Wearing sunscreen on a daily basis is a must to avoid sunburns that you can easily get without noticing.
