Description:
Daytime high temperatures will reach 70 to 75 degrees throughout

Temperatures this warm, and for this long, happen about once per
year.
The long duration of warmer days may impact subsistence

also affect people who are extremely sensitive to heat (like
elders or infants), especially if they are unable to cool down or
stay hydrated.
Actions: Keep homes cool by closing curtains during the day and
opening windows at night. If outdoors, stay hydrated and dress in
lighter and looser clothing. Be alert to signs of heat stress in
yourself and others.
