Heat Advisory Updated Timing (6/16)
June 16th, 2018 by Ric Hanson
A Heat Advisory remains in effect for nearly the entire State of Iowa until 7-p.m. Sunday.
* TEMPERATURE...Highs generally in the mid 90s with dewpoints around 70, leading to heat index values of 100 to 105 degrees each afternoon. * IMPACTS...Lack of overnight relief from the heat will lead to additional stress. Gusty daytime winds will increase the risk of dehydration. The prolonged nature of this event will compound and amplify heat-related impacts. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even for a minute.
