Heat Advisory Updated Timing (6/16)

Weather

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.
