FRIDAY ANOTHER SCORCHER - Heat Advisory Issued By NWS, Heat Index To 105

(07/22/2011)

Temperatures hit the very high 90s Thursday in the county. An Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect from noon to 8 PM EDT Friday with heat index values of 105. Heat illness will be possible for people spending an extended amount of time outdoors or engaging in strenuous outdoor activities. This would be especially true for the elderly. Pets are also vulnerable to heat related stress and should be checked on to make sure plenty of water and shade are available to them. An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of fluids and stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check in on relatives and neighbors. Reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
