After rain chased us out of Seaside this last weekend, now we have to watch for extreme high temperatures.
Three new references are posted on our Weather Links page. See references on 1. Heat Related Illness, 2. Heat Index and 3. Extreme Heat Preparedness Checklist.
- Heat related illnesses: What to look for and What to do for:
- Heat Stroke
- Heat exhaustion
- Heat cramps
- Sunburn
- Heat rash
2. Heat Index: “The heat index is an accurate measure of how hot it really feels when the affects of humidity are added to the high temperatures.”
3. Checklist check the tip on urine color. As for emergency community alerts – note: a “WATCH” means “Be Prepared!” A “WARNING” means “Take Action!”
Stay alert out there.
