    BTguy, fans are a good idea, but I suggest AC for this weather.

    This is how my house felt all Shavuos. I would never move to Florida, just for the heat alone.

    Tri-State Faces 2nd Heat Wave of Year, Set to Start Friday
    (Thursday, June 28th, 2012)

    The tri-state area is bracing for another heat wave a week after stifling humidity and temperatures in the mid-90s baked the region for the first time this year.

    Temperatures are expected to cap at 89 degrees Thursday with little humidity before surging into the muggy mid-90s Friday, Saturday and Sunday, meteorologists say.

    An excessive heat watch is already in effect in southern New Jersey, and forecasters expect the watches and warnings to expand to more of the tri-state.

    The heat wave is expected to officially begin Friday, with a few isolated morning storms giving way to a steamy 94 degrees and mostly sunny skies.

    That trend continues Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the mid-90s, before slowly petering out early next week as strong to severe storms Monday afternoon break the heat by Tuesday.

    Temperatures blazed across the metropolitan area last week, sending children to sprinklers as authorities urged people working outdoors to drink plenty of water and stay in the shade.

    I think you are baking too many yummy cupcakes and the heat from your oven is causing these crazy heat waves. I suggest you give every person affected by your heat wave a free cupcake (make sure it is yummy of course) to compensate them for the damage!!!

    Hydration: Water May Not Be Enough

    With heat hovering near and above the triple digit mark, doctors are reminding residents that their bodies need more than water; they need electrolytes. “Electrolytes, if they’re out of balance, will kill you. And lead to heat stroke out on the court. So keep hydrated and keep your salts up,” said Dr. Bryan Wasson of the Baylor-Irving Medical Center.

    When humans sweat, we lose more than water; especially after the first hour. “You begin to decrease the amount of sodium, chloride, potassium, as well as calcium,” Wasson says. “What you’ll notice initially is cramping, you’ll then follow with fatigue, tiredness. In the initial stage of heat exhaustion, you’ll simply be unable to continue.”

    But then, he says, it gets worse. “Following that, your temperature begins to rise, sweating stops, you’re going to have mental confusion and other issues that ultimately could lead to death,” he said. Woody Smith knows what Dr. Wasson is describing. The Richardson Bike Mart employee “hit the wall,” as bicyclists say, during a summer race years ago.

    “You don’t realize it until once your hair starts standing up,” he said, “then it’s too late.” He urges fellow bicyclists or anyone outdoors to either rely on commercial products or make something they like at home. He and Dr. Wasson urge water for the first hour then, “We’re doing alternates: water, electrolytes; water, electroylytes. Every other break they get. You need both in this heat.”
