Hot weather/ How much water should you drink during the heat?

In hot weather, it is essential to increase water consumption to stay hydrated and prevent heat-related illnesses.

A good starting point is at least 8 glasses or 2 liters of water per day, but individual needs vary based on activity level, environment, and body size. When it's hot, you'll likely need to consume much more than that.

General instructions:

Start with 8-10 a day and adjust based on thirst and urine color.

Activity level:

If you are exercising or working in the heat, you will need to drink more frequently, potentially up to 1 liter per hour.

Thirst and urine:

Pay attention to your body's signals. If you feel thirsty or your urine is dark yellow, you need to drink more water.

Listen to your body:

Don't wait until you're very thirsty to drink. Drink water throughout the day to stay ahead of dehydration.

Other hydrating drinks:

While water is the best choice, other options such as sports drinks with electrolytes can also be beneficial, especially during and after prolonged activity in the heat./CNA
