How to Beat the S.A. Heat!


When you arrive in San Antonio, you'll arrive in the midst of a pretty terrible drought. It's been one hot summer already, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees Farenheit in the late afternoon. The air has also been very humid, which combined with high heat, can make for a potentially dangerous atmosphere.

Be not afraid! A San Antonio native is here to the rescue. When you know you'll be outside for a while in the Alamo City, make sure you have the following:
  • Sunscreen lotion
  • Sunglasses
  • A hat and/or umbrella (to use as shade)
  • Access to plenty of water (carry a bottle with you and drink often)
  • Light-colored/lightweight clothing, which absorbs less heat
  • Breaks in between periods of physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or bike riding
and try to avoid the following:
  • Sugary or caffeinated drinks, which impede your body's hydration and make you more susceptible to heatstroke
  • Dark-colored/heavy clothing
  • Standing in direct sunlight for extended periods of time
  • Wearing metal necklaces in direct sunlight, which can actually concentrate heat and give you a small burn
Above all, don't fret! As long as you do your part to beat the heat, you'll feel great. Enjoy your CNMC preparations!

  1. Angela,

    Thank you so much for this site! Excellent!

    A quick question:

    I am arriving on Thursday and staying at Drury Inn. When I touch down at the airport, is there a shuttle that will take me to the hotel or do I need to take a taxi?

    Thank you so much for your kind help!

  2. Jeff,

    According to the Drury Inn's website, they offer complimentary airport shuttle service upon request. I would call the hotel if I were you to be sure you have that service set up for yourself. That's what I did last year in Atlanta for '08 CNMC, and had no problems.

    See you soon!
