"I think this week is going to be particularly tough because it’s going to be a few days on end and the humidity is so high, so it’s important not to take chances," Dr. Andrew Eyre of Brigham and Woman's Hospital.
If you have to be outside for a prolonged period Thursday, try to schedule it for early or late in the day, Eyre warned.
"Make sure to take frequent breaks, get out of the sun and into the shade," he said. "Make sure you drink plenty of fluids."
This is only day two of what is expected to be an extended heat wave so make sure you pace yourself.
