1. Stay hydrated.
Pack an extra water bottle and take advantage of water fountains on campus.
2. Don’t forget sunscreen.
Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and be sure to reapply every two hours.
3. Wear loose, light-colored clothing.
Light colors reflect most of the sun’s wavelengths — keeping the fabric (and you!) cooler.
4. Change your exercise schedule.
Try to work out when it’s coolest: early in the morning or late at night. You can also go to MizzouRec for a climate-controlled workout.
5. Keep exterior doors, windows and blinds closed.
This keeps cool air in while conserving energy.
