Safety and Preparedness

With heat index values potentially reaching 101 tomorrow, it is crucial to stay hydrated and limit time spent outdoors during the hottest parts of the day. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and seek air-conditioned environments when possible. Check on elderly neighbors or those without adequate cooling, as high humidity can make the heat feel more oppressive. While there are no active weather alerts, the persistent heat requires vigilance to prevent heat-related illnesses. Ensure fans are working properly and consider closing blinds during peak sun hours to keep indoor spaces cooler.
