A heat advisory has been issued for Southeast Texas until 8 p.m. on July 10. Entergy Texas encourages customers to keep the following tips in mind regarding heat safety:

  • Drink fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.
  • Wear loose, lightweight clothing and a hat.
  • Wear sunscreen; sunburn affects the body's ability to cool itself.
  • Replace salt lost from sweating by drinking fruit juice or sports drinks.
  • Air conditioning is the best way to cool off; if you are using a generator, do so safely.
  • Avoid spending time outdoors during the hottest part of the day, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
