🔥 Mildura locals — extreme heat incoming 🥵
This week is shaping up to be proper inland heat here in Mildura — not just “bit warm” weather.
☀️ Stay safe
💧 Start hydrating early (don’t wait until you’re thirsty)
🏠 Plan indoor time during peak heat
🐶 Check on pets, kids, older family & neighbours
🔥 Be fire-aware — conditions can change fast
🥗 Eat to stay cool
Hydration isn’t just about water — your food helps too.
High-water foods to lean on:
🍉 Watermelon
🥒 Cucumber
🍓 Strawberries
🍊 Oranges
🥬 Leafy greens & lettuce
🍅 Tomatoes
🥣 Greek yoghurt
🍲 Light, brothy meals (even chilled)
Don’t forget electrolytes:
🧂 A pinch of salt, feta, olives, or a proper meal — plain water alone isn’t always enough in extreme heat.
Maybe ease up on:
☕ Too much caffeine
🍷 Alcohol
🍔 Heavy, greasy meals
Small, light, frequent meals = less heat stress on the body.
Look after yourselves — and each other 💚
This is Mildura heat, respect it.
