The National Weather Service has extended its heat advisory through Saturday, Oct. 7. Afternoon high temperatures are expected to remain elevated through Saturday, though a few degrees cooler along the coast. The cumulative effect of several warm days in a row is expected to impact vulnerable populations, especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.
Take care of yourself and your families by adhering to the following preparedness actions:
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Stay in air-conditioned areas or go to an air-conditioned building if you do not have A/C.
• Limit outdoor activities during the hottest time of the day.
• Do not leave kids or pets in vehicles.
• Watch for hot pavement when walking dogs.
• Check on relatives and neighbors.
