NWS Issues Excessive Heat Warning

Submitted

The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for today and a watch through Tuesday, reports Cory Law, Assistant Organizational Officer of the Whiteside County Health Department.

An Excessive Heat Warning means dangerous heat is happening or about to happen. Individuals are recommended to avoid heavy activity and direct sunlight. Stay hydrated, find a cool indoor place, and check on children, the elderly and pets who are all more susceptible to heat illness.

As a reminder, even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back out into the heat.
