Outdoors Heat Safety

Heat index values as high as 110-115 degrees likely in places every day through at least mid week. The heat will let up very slightly late week, but will still be hot! Drink plenty of water, stay in AC if possible and avoid strenuous activities in the peak heating of the day. Be mindful of cumulative impacts from heat and know the signs of heat illness.

Protect yourself from heat and sun. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Beverages with electrolytes can also help protect against heat stress. Apply sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher, every two hours. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Take regular breaks in the shade.
