A Heat Advisory remains in effect until 9-p.m. for all but the eastern third of Iowa, today (Saturday). Another HEAT ADVISORY will be in effect Sunday for the same time frame (1-p.m. to 9-p.m.).

Highs will be in the lower-to mid-90’s Sunday, with peak heat index values of 103-to near 110 degrees.

Heat illnesses are possible for those active outdoors, in home without air conditioning, or those susceptible to heat illnesses, such as children and the elderly.

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.

Take extra precautions, if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the occupational safety and health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency, call 9 1 1.
