Here are some safety measures which can protect you from heat...
Air-conditioning

is the number one protective factor against heat-related illness and death. During conditions of extreme heat, spend time in locations with air-conditioning such as shopping malls, movie theaters, public libraries, or public health sponsored heat-relief shelters in your area.
Hydrate and Hydrate

consider this as the number one rule. Staying hydrated is very crucial during summer as it ensures that your body keeps functioning normally. As the heat goes up, it results in excessive sweating, which also reduces energy from your body. Continue on flavoured water by adding in mineral rich fruits like watermelon, Melon, Lemon, etc., or make slushies and lemonades at home.
Use Sunscreen

Wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen all over the body 20 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Sunscreen should be worn for any outdoor activity, even on overcast or cloudy days.
Get the Right Gear

Wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection. Everyone, especially very young or very fair-haired children, should wear a hat. Wear cotton clothing.
