Top Things to Know and Do BEFORE a Heat Wave

101
Stay indoors,
or in the shade at least.

92
Don’t do excessive
outdoor activity.

83
Have an air conditioner, swamp cooler, or other means of staying cool.

Note that a ceiling fan uses the least energy.

74
Have plenty of bottled water.

65
Avoid alcohol and high protein food; they raise your body temperature.

56
Avoid caffeinated drinks; these are similar to
alcohol in effect.

47
Consider visiting Ventura
or another coastal area;
they are always far cooler than Ojai.

38
Wear light clothes (light
in both weight and color)
to help keep cool.

29
Do not run the washing machine, dryer, or computer for long periods of time. These generate huge amounts of heat.

110
Although less of
a temperature difference than the beach, Lake Casitas will be infinitely cooler
than Ojai will.
