Several Days of Excessive Heat in the Forecast
The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures from 93 to 96 each day through Saturday with heat index values from 100+ forecast.
To stay safe during extreme heat, prioritize staying cool, hydrated, and informed. Limit strenuous activity, especially during peak heat hours, and seek air-conditioned spaces when possible. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty, and be aware of the symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
- Use fans and air conditioners: While electric fans can help, they may not be effective when temperatures are extremely high (above 90°F or 32°C).
- · Take cool showers or baths: This can help lower your body temperature.
- · Wear loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing: These fabrics help your body regulate temperature.
- · Stay in the shade: If you must be outside, find shade to minimize direct sun exposure.
