Heat Advisory Issued

The National Weather Service has issued a HEAT ADVISORY until Wednesday for all of Southwest Missouri. Heat Indices will reach 105 or higher the next two afternoons. The current heat we are experiencing is more typical of late July than June. Below are some safety tips from the Weather Service to follow during this heat wave:

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS
EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY
WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE
POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED
ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND
NEIGHBORS.
