Drink Your Water
Drink water - lots of water. Eight 8 oz glasses of water a day - at least.
Your body is mostly water. If you end up in a deficit, heat sickness or heat stroke may ensue.
Drink room temperature water to be able to drink more and absorb more. Here’s a website that explains different situations in which you should drink water at different temperatures.

If you feel thirsty, you’re already at a deficit and needs to be corrected ASAP.
Make sure kids are drinking water and staying hydrated. And your pets too!
