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 children or pets in a closed vehicle as 
temperatures inside can reach 140 degrees or more in a short 
period of time. Ensure outdoor pets have plenty of water and
shade.

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.



44/70

... An extended period of very hot temperatures expected Thursday 
into next week... 

A building upper ridge and drier conditions will lead to intense 
heating across the area beginning the middle of this week, lasting
into next week. Temperatures are expected to reach above 100 
degrees at most locations with temperatures near 110 degrees along
the Rio Grande. 

If you plan to be outside in the heat, take plenty of breaks, 
especially during the hottest parts of the day. Wear light-colored 
and loose-fitting clothing. Drink plenty of water, even if you do 
not feel thirsty. Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages. Think 
about others! Never leave children in a car on even a moderately 
warm day as conditions in the car can quickly heat to unhealthy 
levels. Check on pets, the elderly, or other people at risk.
