Staying Safe in the Heat
OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT…MORE ABOUT THE HOT, SUMMER WEATHER.
MANY OF US COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SOMETIMES COOLER TEMPERATURES WE HAVE IN THE SUMMER.
THE RECORD WARM TEMPS ARE MORE THAN A REASON TO COMPLAIN.
IT CAN BE DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS.
THIS PAST WEEKEND AND MOVING ON INTO THE NEXT FEW DAYS MAY PROVE TO BE THE WARMEST WEEK OF THE SUMMER.
A LARGE PART OF THE UPPER PENINSULA SUFFERED THROUGH A HOT SPELL AND MANY LOCATIONS WERE UNDER A HEAT INDEX ADVISORY.
WITH TEMPERATURES PROJECTED TO REMAIN HIGH THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF.
HEAT EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE ARE TWO OF THE MOST COMMON SIDE AFFECTS OD PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO STAY HYDRATED.
IF YOU THINK YOU OR SOME ONE ELSE IS SUFFERING FROM HEAT STROKE THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TO CALL 9–1–1 TO GET HELP IMMEDIATELY
ON EXTREMELY HOT DAYS IT IS IMPORTANT TO STAY INSIDE WITH AIR CONDITIONING, IF POSSIBLE.
