Heat Safety Tips

Very hot temperatures can be expected with highs soaring into the 100-106 degree range over the plains and I-25 Urban Corridor today. This heat will break records in many locations, and add to significant heat stress if outside during the heat of the day. Scattered showers and storms, mainly in and near the mountains, will offer up just a little late day relief. Remember to find shade and stay hydrated!

Another scorcher can be expected today, with high temperatures soaring into the 100-106 degree range across all of the plains and I-25 Urban Corridor. Take extra caution and be sure to stay hydrated, seek shade, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat of the day, and check on those that may be more vulnerable to the heat, including pets and livestock.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
