Early-Season Heat Increases Risk of Heat Illness

Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will result in an elevated to critical fire threat today. Wind gusts will be 25-35 mph with a few peak gusts up to 40 mph possible. Avoid any outdoor burning and avoid tossing lit cigarettes. Secure tow chains and never park or drive over tall grass!

We’re forecasting high temperatures 20-30 degrees above normal this afternoon and tomorrow. Even though highs are “only in the 90s”, most of our bodies are not acclimated to these temperatures yet. Acclimatization is how the body gradually adapts and tolerates higher levels of heat stress. Simply put, our bodies need time to adapt to working and functioning in the heat. Acclimatization results in the following changes: - Body produces more sweat - Sweat contains less salt - Slower heart rate, slower body temperature increase, and more blood flow to the skin makes the body more efficient at getting rid of heat - Other factors that vary from person to person (e.g., general physical fitness, outdoor workers, etc.) will affect the acclimatization process. TLDR: Temperatures the next few days will be typical of June/July, so most of our bodies aren't ready for it. If you plan on spending extended time outdoors this weekend, be sure to #BeatTheHeat! #txwx
