An excessive heat warning remains in effect until Friday, June 18, 2021. Dangerously hot conditions exist, with afternoon temperatures expected to reach 118. Excessive heat can increase in heat related illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke that can lead to death.
Precaution/preparedness actions
An excessive heat warning means that a period of very hot temperatures, even by local standards, will occur. Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat. Stay indoors and seek air-conditioned buildings. Drink water, more than usual, and avoid dehydrating alcoholic, sugary or caffeinated drinks. Dress for the heat, in lightweight and light-colored clothing. Eat small meals and eat more often. Monitor those with a higher vulnerability to heat, including small children. Check in on family, friends and neighbors, especially the elderly. If engaging in outdoor activity, take longer and more frequent breaks and avoid the hottest parts of the day. Never leave kids or pets unattended in cars.
Public cooling shelters
Weather shelters are set up at the Gilson Wash Activity Center in San Carlos and the Bylas Boys and Girls Club in the Rising Sun Community. TANF is available for anyone needing transportation; call 928-475-5032.
