On Sunday at 3:47 a.m. a heat advisory was issued by the National Weather Service valid for Tuesday between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. for Carbon, Monroe, Berks, Lehigh, Northampton and Bucks counties.
“Heat index values up to 103 degrees expected,” states the weather service. “This is the start of a prolonged period of excessive heat with high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s through the week. The early season heat combined with the prolonged nature of the heat may cause heat related impacts that exceed anticipate heat illnesses or on heat sensitive infrastructure normally associated with a Heat Advisory.”
“Heat related illnesses increase significantly during extreme heat and high humidity events,” says the weather service.
Hot weather safety: Weather service tips for staying safe and healthy
- Stay hydrated: Remember to drink plenty of fluids.
- Seek shelter: Stay indoors in an air-conditioned room to keep cool.
- Avoid sun exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure, protect yourself and check on vulnerable relatives and neighbors.
- Child and pet safety: Never leave young children and pets unattended in hot vehicles – car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
- Caution outdoors: Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
- Optimal timing: If possible, move strenuous activities to early morning or evening for more favorable conditions.
- Recognize heat-related issues: Recognize the warning signs and familiarize yourself with symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Dress comfortably: Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing to stay cool.
Additional tips for outdoor workers:
- For outdoor workers, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends regular rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas.
- If someone succumbs to the heat, promptly relocate them to a cool, shaded location.
- In emergency situations, dial 911 for immediate assistance.
These NWS heat safety recommendations are vital for your well-being during periods of high temperatures. Stay informed and take the necessary steps to protect yourself and others from the heat’s potentially dangerous effects.
