🔥 Heat Wave Alert: Stay Safe While Enjoying Summer Outdoors! 🚴♀️☀️
Slovenia is currently experiencing a heat wave, with July temperatures soaring well above average. While it’s a beautiful time to explore the outdoors, it's also crucial to stay safe and protect your health – especially if you're cycling, hiking, or engaging in any outdoor activity.
Here are our top tips for safe summer adventures:
🌞 Plan for the early morning or late afternoon
Avoid the peak heat between 11:00 and 17:00. Start your ride or hike early or enjoy a sunset adventure later in the day.
💧 Hydration is everything
Bring more water than you think you’ll need – and drink often, even if you’re not thirsty. Add electrolytes to keep your energy up.
🧢 Cover up smartly
Wear lightweight, breathable clothes, sunglasses, a hat or helmet cover, and apply sweat-resistant sunscreen generously.
🥵 Know the signs of heat exhaustion
Dizziness, nausea, cramps, and extreme fatigue are warning signs. Don’t push through – find shade, rest, and rehydrate.
🚴♂️ Slow down your pace
This isn’t the time to break records. Listen to your body and adjust your goals for the conditions.
🍉 Snack wisely
Fruits like watermelon, bananas, or homemade energy bars with salt can help you stay fueled and balanced.
🌳 Seek shade breaks
Stop under trees or at rest points to cool off. Short, regular pauses can make a big difference.
Whether you’re cycling through the Vipava Valley, hiking in the hills, or strolling through a town, let’s enjoy the beauty of Slovenia safely and responsibly.
Stay cool and take care! 😎
