Summer has arrived, and it's going to be a hot one. The NOAA recently released a new long-range weather outlook that predicts above-average temperatures for most of the United States.

According to the forecast, all but a few states have between a 33% and 70% chance of a hotter-than-normal summer between July and September.

In addition, California and the Midwest are also more likely to experience a hot summer than a cool one.

When temperatures soar, it's important to take precautions to stay safe and healthy, such as staying hydrated and avoiding the sun during peak hours.

Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious conditions that can be life-threatening, especially for older adults and young children.

To stay safe during a heat wave, drink plenty of water, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, and avoid spending time outdoors during the hottest part of the day.

If you must be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade or indoors with air conditioning to stay safe and cool during a heat wave.

Staying cool during a heat wave is essential for your health and well-being, as it can prevent heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses.

Some simple tricks include taking a cool shower or bath, using a fan or air conditioner, and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.

You can also stay cool by wearing light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, avoiding strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day, and spending time in air-conditioned spaces.

Preparing for a heat wave can help you stay safe and comfortable during the hottest months of the year.

Make sure your air conditioner is working properly and that you have plenty of water and non-perishable food on hand.

If you have to work or be outside during a heat wave, wear sunscreen and a hat to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.

It's also a good idea to check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors and family members to make sure they are staying cool and hydrated.

With a little preparation, and proactive planning, you can beat the heat and enjoy a safe and healthy summer.

Stay hydrated, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, and avoid spending time outdoors during the hottest part of the day.
