I'm in lower Alabama and we've been getting these "Excessive Heat Warnings" for the past few weeks. Saying we could see up to 110 degrees, when the app says the highs will be in the upper 90's. Yes it's hot here in the south, it's always damn hot in the south during the summer. Tell us something we don't know 🙄
The part some people don't know is, if you plan on a long hike, or whatever it is you love, and it's going to be hot as hell, you need to start extra hydration the day before. In the extreme heat once you're fucked, your fucked.
Also need electrolytes. If you sweat off a liter of water, which would be easy in half an hour, you need salt and potassium as well as water to replace it.

Where I live, we do this thing called, "staying hydrated." If we're going to exercise outside, we make sure we drink enough fluids. It works, too.

100% you die by drinking too much water and flushing all that shit out of your system.
