But here again, there are no guarantees. Occupational outdoor workers should be especially careful once the mercury starts to sizzle. The same holds true for casual gardeners, deer hunters pulling pre-season work details, and fishermen who venture onto the water when skies are clear and ambient temperatures are near the boiling point. Once of the best ways for anglers to beat the summer heat is to fish at night. Not only is it cooler outside, but the fish tend to bite better as well.
Water is better than any other fluid for keeping the body adequately hydrated.
It's a good idea to drink 16-32 ounces of water per hour when exposed to hot weather. You should avoid very cold beverages because they can cause stomach cramps. In addition, avoid consuming beer and other drinks containing alcohol until the work is done, because they will actually cause you to lose more fluid. The manner in which you dress for a day in the sun can make a big difference how hot or cool you remain for the duration. Dark colors should be avoided.
