  Drink plenty of water, stay in the shade with a fan if possible. Also wear light clothing, and a sun hat 🙂

  Drink lots of water, for sure. If you have ice, then that’s better! Stay in the shade as much as you can and don’t exert yourself too much.

  Agree with others, stay in the shade as much as possible, wear light clothing that covers the skin, including a hat. Sit in a breeze or use a fan (have a look at latent heat of evaporation to see why this helps), and drink plenty of water/cool drinks

  Ideally I’d just sit in a swimming pool all day. But I feel obligated to tell you not to do this if it’s at the hottest part of the day, and remember to re-apply suncream regularly. 🙂 If you don’t have a swimming pool the others have given great answers!

  If you had access to air conditioning why wouldn’t you use it? 🙂
  If you want to stay outside though, best follow the advice of the others above, and try not to move around too much – generating your own heat won’t help.
  
  Just to add – if you have a pet dog, please don’t shut it in a car on a hot day – heat stress can be lethal to dogs kept like this and it’s a horrendous way to die!

  Drink water, stay in the shade and don’t move around too much! And if you have a pool handy, hanging out in the water is the best way of all. Just remember that you still need to drink and stay shaded, or you’ll regret it!

  Staying hydrated, keeping out of the direct overhead sun. wear a hat and take things easy.
  
  Also ice lollies and ice cream!!! 😊👍
