prioritize staying hydrated (with electrolytes of course) and promoting circulation! try to prevent blood pooling in your legs—if you’ll be stuck sitting, prop your legs up when possible; if you’ll be stuck standing in place, try to do a few “high steps” (like marching, lift your knees up) every now and then

and if possible, ice packs or cold damp washcloths on the back of your neck and the undersides of your wrists should help a bit with regulating body temp. good luck out there OP 🥲
