It's important to check The Villages weather app daily to check on the temperature. Decide how to dress and what activities are do-able for you. Lots of hydration...water... is best. Most importantly...know your limits...age...physical condition. Be aware of your comfort zone.

You are in Florida.

Yes you are in FL but you do need to be mindful of the heat, heat strokes are nothing to play with.
I have a lot of people I know end up in the emergency room.

depends on a lot of factors. body weight, fitness, heat tolerance. just do yourself a favor, don't try to go the extra mile....if you feel like it's getting intolerable you've probably been out a bit too long.

Also as everyone says drink lots of water - here's a hint - purified water doesn't do anything for you except run through you because it lacks all the other minerals etc to 'stick'. When we were on the coast I used to line up 8 bottles a day, still dehydrated. Now it's 2 of Mountain Valley Spring water and I'm more than good.... and when I say 2, I am talking 12 ounce bottles

Walking the pitch and putts the past few days in the midday sun led to my reading the Noel Coward entry in Wikipedia yesterday. 😀

The mid to late afternoon is when it's the hottest. The hottest time of day here is typically between 2:00 - 4:00.

I find it very important to check the my radar app so you can play the dodge the thunder and lightning storm game.

I had a friend move here from Michigan and the first few times we played golf in the summer, he was done by the 14th hole, way overheated and feeling miserable. I told him the key is to drink water starting the night before to be well hydrated. He complained he'd be up all night peeing, but I suggested that was better than dying of heatstroke. He took my advice and now plays golf AND tennis in the heat without problems.

Add gator aid to that routine…gives you the extra you need when sweating take all your electrolytes out.
