According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people aged 65 and older are at high risk for heat-related illnesses. To avoid illness or death, make sure to stay inside in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible, do not rely on a standing fan to cool you off during extreme heat, drink more water, and limit the use of big kitchen appliances like the stove or oven (it will make your house hotter).
Even if those not at risk for heat-related illnesses should still limit strenuous outdoor activity (especially during midday when the sun is the hottest). The CDC also advises to drink more water, wear lightweight clothing, take cool showers, and never leave children or pets in cars.
