“Yeah, I drink more water for sure, and just going to the different reservoirs and the ponds, and just swim a little bit to cool down. Probably once a week, or probably every other week. It’s getting a little warmer, but we’ve just had, like, an insane winter with all of the snow and all of that, so I don’t really know how that’s going to be in the future. I hope it’s not super hot, but, I mean, we have both here.” — Gustavo Sanchez, Pleasant Grove

“I escape up to the mountains where it’s a lot cooler. I do a lot of hiking and things like that. I usually try and go once a week, so usually every Saturday. I’ve really gotten into hiking the last couple of years, so it’s something, I guess, semi-new that I’m doing. I don’t know if it’s necessarily because of the temperature, but it is a lot cooler, so it’s an added benefit to go up into the mountains for sure.” — Justin Bishop, Orem

“I stay inside more. Temperatures go up in the summer, down in the winter. They’re higher this year in the summer, but some summers are lower… I watch a little television and do a little computer stuff, whatever. It’s sort of the same routine. Well, I’m retired anyways.” — David Berg, Pleasant Grove

“Just drinking more water, I guess. I work construction, so, and I work in Saint George, so it’s hot down there; a lot hotter than it is up here. I try to drink over a gallon in the summer a day, which is probably still not enough. But, yeah, I don’t know how much I drink in the summer… I mean, wear a T-shirt, I guess. Just staying hydrated is the best thing you could do, the most simplest thing you can do honestly.” — Adam Howard, Lindon

“Wearing shorts. I don’t drive a car with air conditioning, so I just make sure to have the windows down and stuff, and wear lighter clothing, and carry around a water bottle all the time… Like, when I am outside, I try and make it times, like, earlier in the day or later in the day when it’s not so hot. Like, mountain bike a lot, and go for walks and stuff.” — Mason Starkie, Lindon
