Some tips for staying cool 1) Wear a hat that provides shade for your face. 2) A small kerchief that you can use to wipe sweat - or moisten it and wear on your head under the hat as you walk - the evaporation cools the head. 3) drink a lot of water (Red Stripes, no matter how cold, are not a suitable substitute for water - not even the light version, they are more fun though). 4) Wear loose cotton clothing. 5) Don't walk in the middle of the day. 6) Stay in the shade as much as possible, find those breezy places.
