With high temperatures and stifling humidity expected to stick around this weekend, precautions can be taken to help avoid a potentially dangerous situation.
According to the American Red Cross, the hot summer weather we have been having can be a time of danger for the effects of heat particularly on older adults, infants, children, and those with chronic medical conditions, as well as athletes and those who work outside.
Spending a long time in the heat or a hot vehicle can result in heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Experts recommend staying hydrated and paying attention to early symptoms like cramps or dizziness.
Those who do not have an air conditioned environment to access should be checked on regularly by family, friends, or neighbors who do.
