This helps retain water.<\/li>\n<li>If you are out in the desert heat walking, hiking or playing sports make sure you carry a phone with you. Never hike or play golf alone during the heat of the summer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is the hottest day of the year and the temperature may still rises for the coming days.
