Given the extreme temperatures across the region, Entergy Texas encourages customers to keep the following tips in mind:
- Drink fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.
- Wear loose, lightweight clothing and a hat.
- Wear sunscreen; sunburn affects the body's ability to cool itself.
- Replace salt lost from sweating by drinking fruit juice or sports drinks.
- Air conditioning is the best way to cool off; if you are using a generator, do so safely.
- Avoid spending time outdoors during the hottest part of the day, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
