Are you melting yet?

The summer is officially in full swing and my how the tempertures have climbed in the past few weeks! It is Scorching!
I hope you are staying cool and refreshed and not too much abundance of heat in your area. The first of summer here in Oklahoma we had our fill of rain and flooding in so many areas and now the heat is extreme, this week they have issued excessive heat warnings in our area. Funny how the weather can go to such extremes. As of right now the temperatures are in the 100 + degree areas and it is very still so no wind and after our month or so of rain the humidity is way up so it feels even hotter out! Whew! It sure makes me feel wimpy. Well some of the ways you can stay cool is of course to stay inside with an air conditioner. If you have ceiling fans or any type of fans to stir up the air be sure to run those and it will allow you to keep the house slightly higher temperature and feel cooler and save on that electricity bill. Right now the nighttime temperatures aren't even giving much relief it has been sweltering.

Hold off on any outdoor activities you can avoid, the only thing you might think of doing is hop in the pool to refresh from the heat. Be sure you have plenty of liquids to drink if you are going to be outdoors to stay hydrated and if you have pets or livestock be sure you keep them in fully supply of water. If your air conditioner isn't working quite so well, you can go to a shopping center or mall or library or other public place to stay cool through the day or stay with other family members. I have seen many little ones running through the sprinklers out watering the lawns and having a blast!
Stay inside in the air conditioning, sip a drink and relax while surfing through DealOfDay for great bargains that you won't even have to leave home for, now that is blissful and no heat envolved. Whatever you do, Beat The Heat!

Some more tips, Keep your doors closed and if you have mini blinds or curtains be sure to cover your windows and keep the sunshine down that will really cut out the amount of heat coming into your home so your air conditioner will work more efficiently and effectively.
