00:05and those set for summer vacation need to be prepared and take proper precautions.
00:11HuffPost reports, extreme temperatures pose serious health risks,
00:15so it's essential to prepare yourself and your travel itinerary around the heat.
00:20Melissa Yeager, the senior news editor at Lonely Planet, says,
00:24The biggest mistake people make is underestimating the power of the sun.
00:28Make sure you hydrate properly.
00:31Start your day with a glass of water. Bring a bottle with you.

00:45water alone might not be enough when facing the extreme temperatures of a heatwave.
00:51You also need to replace the electrolytes that you're losing.
00:54Embrace cultural activities, preferably indoor galleries or museums.
00:58Dress appropriately with layers and don't try to do too much.
