2. Love your air-conditioner - in the house, in the car, in the mall, in the restaurants, in the movie theater. In short, choose activities that are a/c-friendly.
3. If you must be outside, limit it
to the 30 second maximum that is required for you to run from one a/c-friendly location to another (refer to item #2). NOTE: The one exception to this rule is if you are at the beach, wherein you are provided with 30 seconds to run from the car to the water to the sand to the water, etc. Bring lots of sunscreen. :-) I enjoyed Hollywood Beach on Thursday, and the ocean was a PERFECT temperature!
4. Be sure to keep the web page www.weather.com always on your browser, and as the temperatures climb, be prepared to hibernate in one of the places listed under item #2. This means you generally have until 10am to leave your house and reach your next long-term, a/c-friendly destination, at which you should remain until after 6pm, after which time outdoor activities may resume - limited, of course, to 30-minute intervals and being sure to consume at least two 16.9-ounce bottles of water during each interval.
5. REMEMBER: It may be this hot and humid in Florida for 2 whole months, but that's nothing when compared to the 5-6 months of freezing temperatures, icy roads, mountains of snow, and grey skies we endure in Wisconsin every year! So, find an a/c-friendly place and enjoy the sight of palm trees lining the shores of sparkling-blue ocean water...ahhh...
