7 Tips to Beat The Heat while Traveling Check It Out!

Hot temperatures and heat waves often hit some regions in the world. Several South East Asian countries even have issued a warning.

This condition certainly requires extra attention, especially if you want to travel to areas with hot temperatures. What are the things you need to pay attention to if you want to travel to a destination with such hot temperatures?

Here are seven tips that Traveloka provides to guarantee your fun travel in hot weather!

1. Leave the hotel or accommodation in the morning

Typically, the air temperature start to intensify around 11.00 local time. Although the rule of thumb states that midday is the hottest time of the day. In reality, the heat continues to heighten until the afternoon – and temperatures in the afternoon are much hotter than in the morning, hot enough to fry an egg! Therefore, try to leave the hotel or inn early in the morning so as not to be exposed to the burning heat.

2. Dress lightly

Try to wear loose, light clothing made from comfortable materials. Don't forget sunscreen, and reapply regularly. To make it cooler, you can bring a handheld fan to use when the weather is hot.

3. Wash your hands or wash your face

To deal with the hot temperatures, you can routinely wash your hands, arms or wash your face frequently. Use cold water, or take a cold shower if possible. You can also opt in for water-based activities like swimming, or surfing.

4. Take shelter in an air-conditioned (AC) place

When traveling in the hot sun, spending a moment in an air-conditioned environment could be the right choice. Look for museums, galleries, restaurants or cafes to rest for a while from the heat.

5. Stay hydrated

Drink more water than usual, and don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink. Pack a refillable water bottle and keep it with you at all times to ensure easy access to hydration wherever your summer adventures take you.

If you are traveling to places in South-East Asia, or other tropical countries, you can find a lot of food stalls selling coconut water. Which can help you to stay hydrated.

6. Pay attention to food intake

When it's time to eat, prioritize foods that contain lots of water. Additionally, opt for hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables to replenish electrolytes and stay energized during your vacation.
