Keep out of the heat if you can especially between the hours of 11am-3pm.

Avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.

Wear sunscreen and light clothing. 

If it's safe to do so open windows early in the morning to allow stored heat to escape the building, then close during the day.

Open the windows at night when the temperature has gone down.

Cool yourself down with cold drinks, cold food, avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, hot drinks.

Have a cool shower or put water on your skin.
