EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON SUNDAY TO
8 PM EDT MONDAY…
* WHAT…Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to
110 expected.
* WHERE…The urban corridor from Wilmington to Philadelphia to
Trenton.
* WHEN…From noon Sunday to 8 PM EDT Monday. The most oppressive
day is expected to be Monday. The heat wave is likely to
continue beyond Monday.
* IMPACTS…Extreme heat and humidity will significantly
increase the potential for heat related illnesses,
particularly for those working or participating in outdoor
activities.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…The dangerously hot conditions may
continue on Tuesday and Wednesday. The warning may need to be
extended as we get closer. Temperatures overnight are only expected to drop into the mid 70s, so there will be little relief from the heat even through the overnight hours.
Recommended actions: Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. 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 heatstroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible. 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.
