Extreme Heat Warning issued July 17 at 3:43PM CDT until July 17 at 9:00PM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
* WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values of 100 to
107.
* WHERE...Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and
Washington Counties.
* WHEN...Until 9 PM CDT this evening.
* IMPACTS...Heat-related illnesses increase significantly during
extreme heat and high humidity events. Prolonged heat waves lead to
cumulative heat stress for those who cannot adequately cool down
and recover each night. Cumulative heat stress significantly
increases the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke as time goes
on.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car
interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
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.
