Medical experts say everyone should take care to stay hydrated, wear loose and light-colored clothing, stay in the shade, and never leave a person or pet alone in a closed car. Pregnant women, seniors, newborns, children, the elderly, and the chronically ill are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and should be extra careful.
