Desert people must abide by similar rules for anyone trying to protect themselves in extreme temperatures. For example, in very high heat, one must always drink plenty of water in order to avoid dehydration. In addition, you should avoid strenuous activity in direct sunlight and at high temperature points during the day (between 10am and 2pm or even later) and seek shade where possible. Maintaining your core temperature and staying hydrated are keys in extreme heat while wearing loose fitting and minimal clothing.

For cold weather extremes, one should dress in layers and be sure to cover all extremities to avoid heat loss. Staying hydrated is always a concern regardless of temperature. Avoiding frost bite and other cold weather ailments is critical and staying covered is important.
