How to stay safe during upcoming heat wave

Whether you are a triathlete or just sitting around your house, this weekend's heat wave could test your overall health. The National Weather Service is warning Wisconsinites about the very warm and humid weather entering the area this weekend, reaching its peak on Sunday. Temperatures are expected to hit the mid-to-high 80s, with humidity levels making those temperatures feel even warmer. Stormy Gale from Door County Public Health says loose clothing and increased fluid intake are just some ways to beat the heat.

Gale recommends checking in on each other as well during the course of the day, especially when it comes to the fine line between heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

The heat wave is also a reminder to motorists to check their backseats before leaving their cars for extended periods of time. Even with their windows cracked, their car can be 10 to 15 degrees warmer than it is outside on a warm day, making it especially dangerous for kids and pets that are potentially left behind.
