It’s summertime in OKC. We are right in the middle of it.

We have been quite fortunate this year.  Over all the temperatures have been kept at bay.  Nothing overly scorching.  We have had a handful of temperatures in the mid to upper 90s.  I guess the biggest struggle has been the humidity and the smoke from the wildfires out west.

Listening to the weather the other morning, the weatherman referred our current outdoors as being like a blow-dryer.  Hot and windy.  Pretty accurate.

How to keep cool outdoors this summer with family and friends. 

Play in the water – slip n slide, water sprinklers, hang out at the pool

Dress in light colors

Avoid peak hours 11am – 2pm

Use cooling towels and neck bands; stay hydrated

Stay inside in the air conditioning

Don't forget your pets!
