This weekend will be a scorcher in the State of Alabama.

Temperatures will be peaking out near the high 90s for the next five days. So, you need to protect yourself from the heat and sun. There are so many ways to do this.

Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Beverages with electrolytes can also help protect against heat stress.

Apply sunscreen every two hours. Wear light weight, loose-fitting,and light-colored clothing.

Take regular breaks in the shade. Go into buildings that are air-conditioned.
