It’s really feeling like Texas summer now, isn’t it? With temperatures in the 100’s all week long for DFW, this heat can pose a threat to anyone outdoors for an extended period of time. DFW is also under a Heat Advisory until Monday 8:00 PM. This is likely to be extended due to the extreme heat all week long. Temperatures could reach as high as 110 degrees in parts of the metroplex. Stay cool and hydrated! Heat can be extremely dangerous to all people. Please refer to WC’s Heat Safety page for more information.
Next week brings slightly cooler temperatures and some more rain for relief from the extreme heat. Stay tuned and weather aware.
Heat Advisory—Take Action! A Heat Advisory is issued within 12 hours of the onset of extremely dangerous heat conditions. The general rule of thumb for this Advisory is when the maximum heat index temperature is expected to be 100° or higher for at least 2 days, and nighttime air temperatures will not drop below 75°; however, these criteria vary across the country, especially for areas that are not used to dangerous heat conditions. Take precautions to avoid heat illness. If you don’t take precautions, you may become seriously ill or even die.
