We're in a HEATwave!

Our weather for the next few days is calling for record-breaking heat.  We are expected to have highs in the 100s for several days. The last time we had temperatures this hot was in the summer of 2007. The local meterologist says that we may break temperature records from as far back as 1914!

So what can you do to stay cool during this heat?

For starters, don't go outside during the hottest part of the day, which is between 11-4.  Try to avoid these hours as the sun is at its peak in the sky.  Do your physical activity in the morning hours or the evening hours.

If you must go outside during the middle of the day:

• Drink plenty of WATER!
• Wear light-weight clothing.
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat.
• Don't forget sunscreen!
• Take plenty of breaks.

Enjoy these hot days, but be safe and careful!
