Tips
To adapt to the high temperatures as a spectator at summer events at the racecourse, consider the following measures:
- Choose light-coloured, loose, and breathable clothing made from natural fibres such as linen to stay cool. Wear a hat or cap to protect your face from the sun and sunglasses to shield your eyes from UV rays.
- Use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (at least SPF 30) and reapply it regularly, especially if you are sweating.
- Bring a reusable water bottle and drink regularly to maintain hydration.
- Stay in shaded areas as much as possible to avoid direct sun exposure.
- Wet wipes or cool packs can help lower your body temperature. Place them on your wrists, neck, or other pulse points. Hand fans or battery-operated portable fans can also provide a refreshing breeze.
- Avoid heavy, greasy meals. Opt for light, water-rich snacks such as fruits and vegetables to keep yourself energized and cool.
These measures will help you stay comfortable and safe while enjoying the summer events at the racecourse.
