after playing softball at 1:00 in the afternoon with the heat index spiking at a balmy 112 degrees i can tell you without restraint that it is freakishly hot outside. the bad thing is that you don't realize how bad it is until much later. i was fine after the game after have guzzled down about a gallon or more of water and gatorade, but then the headache came. a heat headache. it felt like a migrane and pulsed right behind my eyes. much better now, but WOW. i hate that pain...everytime i get a headache i fear that it will go on and on like the one i had a couple years ago when it hurt to breathe.
i'm blabbing about all this to say, in short, BE CAREFUL. don't be stupid. drink water, drink gatorade, drink any fluid that is going to hydrate you (i.e. NOT alcohol or caffeine). people can get seriously ill in temperatures like this that are hitting all over the US. so look out for your loved ones and make sure that everyone is getting water. there is a fine line between hydration and dehydration and it's not one you want to cross.
