Here is a heat warning for our area from the National Weather Service.
Be careful out there.
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CDT THIS EVENING.
HEAT INDICES AROUND 106 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS TODAY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE HEAT ILLNESSES ARE LIKELY. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS AND STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM. STAY OUT OF THE SUN AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. WATCH YOUR PETS! MAKE SURE THEY TOO ARE KEPT IN A COOL ENVIRONMENT AND HAVE PLENTY OF WATER. NEVER LEAVE PETS OR CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN A VEHICLE FOR ANY DURATION!
Yeah, people need to really think about their pets outside. They can die of heat stroke faster then humans.
