Weekend Wellness: Beat the Summer Heat

Summer in the Mid-South can be intense, so take a little extra care of yourself this weekend.

Drink plenty of water, wear light-colored clothing, take breaks in the shade, and try to schedule outdoor activities for the morning or evening when temperatures are lower.

If you have older family members, young children, or pets, check in on them during periods of extreme heat. A little preparation can help everyone enjoy summer safely.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and make the most of the weekend!

Nothing says summer like fireworks lighting up the night sky. From downtown celebrations to community festivals across the Mid-South, there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate.
