保持冷静

消暑--在西雅图南区保持凉爽和安全

西北太平洋地区的天气通常比较温和，但有时高温也会悄然而至！以下是我们关于如何在高温时保持凉爽舒适的小贴士。

由于我们的气温往往远离极端温度，该地区的许多家庭和企业都没有空调。这可能会让当地人和游客汗流浃背，不知道该去哪里降温。值得庆幸的是，您可以去很多地方放松一下。

前往冷却中心

天气炎热时，尤其是家中没有空调的情况下，待在气候可控的场所可能是您安全的最佳选择。降温中心是金县公共卫生局指定的供人们降温的公共场所，每当出现危险的热浪时就会启用。虽然具体的避难所会根据热浪的情况而有所不同，但该地区有几个突出的避难所始终可供使用。

Westfield Southcenter 购物中心装有空调，在营业时间内是指定的降温场所。此外，购物中心内还有许多有趣的购物、餐饮场所和活动，让您乐在其中。金县图书馆系统的大多数图书馆都装有空调，并可作为降温中心，如果您想在降温的同时享受更有教育意义的消遣的话。

在凉爽的同时需要更多的刺激？虽然飞行博物馆不是免费的，但它有空调，是了解航空航天工业历史的好去处。在舒适的空调环境中消磨时间，看电影也是一个不错的选择。

金县卫生局有一个炎热天气准备网页，将根据需要更新有关其他冷却中心的信息。

冷饮冰镇

There's nothing like cooling off with a sweet, cold treat when it's hot out. Thankfully there are tons of scweet, icy treats in the area to satisfy your sweet tooth and get you some relief from the heat. Kakigori Dessert Cafe, for example, elevates their Korean-style shaved ice (called bingsoo) to a whole other Instagrammable level with their flavors and decorations, like cute (and fully edible!) frozen animals that top their treats. And if you'd rather get something warm, dessert waffles are also on offer topped with all kinds of deliciousness. At SomiSomi, a rotating menu of soft serve flavors are served up in a fish-shaped waffle cone (called ah-boong in Korean), or in a cup if you want to skip the cone. And if you want something a bit warmer, their taiyaki (fish-shaped waffles) come filled with sweet fillings (like custard, red bean or nutella) or cheese if you want something savory.

Want something a bit more south of the border? Sweet D'licias in Des Moines specializes in nieves de garrafa, a Mexican sorbet, and raspados, or shaved ice. Whether you go with the expected, like strawberry, or the more exotic tamarind flavor, you'll be cooled off and refreshed. Hooyo's Ice Cream and Cafe has an incredible strawberry cheesecake flavor that'll blow your mind. Plus, you can get ice-cream topped waffles, brownies, and more. And there's more filling fare, like chicken and waffles, on the menu if you have room for dinner after your dessert!

Halo halo is a many-layered dessert from the Philippines that features ice cream, shaved ice, fruit jelly, pudding, and other toppings to make a cool, sweet, textural sensation, and there are a few different places in Seattle Southside you can go to enjoy this Pinoy delight. Max's Restaurant serves their halo halo along with their Filipino classics like sisig, crispy pata, and of course their famous fried chicken at their full service restaurant. For a quick-service experience in Westfield Southcenter Mall, Jollibee's halo halo and fried chicken offerings are a delight, but expect to wait in line - this location is always popular, since it's one of only two locations of the popular Filipino chain in the state of Washington! ChowKing Chinese, also in the mall, has their own halo halo if you're not up for the wait at Jollibee's.

阳光下的安全

如果您想在享受阳光的同时享受清凉，谁又能责怪您呢？- 西雅图南区有很多选择，但一定要采取适当的预防措施。多喝水，尽量待在阴凉处，别忘了涂防晒霜！查看我们的西雅图地区海滩指南，找到适合您家庭的海滩。您还可以选择去嬉水公园，比如角湖（Angle Lake）的嬉水公园或图克维拉嬉水喷水公园（Tukwila Splash & Spray Park）。角湖也有一个相当大的游泳区，并提供免费救生衣借用计划，以确保游泳者，尤其是儿童在这个夏天的安全。

无论您要去哪里消暑，一定要留意自己和亲人是否出现中暑症状，包括头晕、头痛、肌肉痉挛和恶心。如果您发现这些症状，请将出现这些症状的人转移到凉爽的地方，让他们喝一些清凉的饮料，并确保他们抬起脚休息。还要注意可能致命的中暑迹象，如果中暑没有得到迅速治疗，中暑就会出现。这些症状包括发烧超过 103 度、皮肤发红和干燥、脉搏加快、恶心、意识模糊或昏迷。如果有人出现这些症状，请拨打 911 并立即将他们转移到凉爽的地方。在金县公共卫生网站上了解更多有关这些征兆的信息以及看到这些征兆时应采取的措施。

注意安全，在外面尽可能地保持凉爽。
