During extreme heat, remember best practices, even though they sound basic. Per Andrew Pershing of Climate Central:
Take care of yourself.
Drink water.
Understand where your options are to stay cool.
Keep an eye on your friends and neighbors.
Pershing explained drivers of and responses to heat events on the PBS Newshour (2024 May 31) during concurrent global temperature extremes. See What's behind recent extreme heat events and record high temperatures?
