HEAT INDEX VALUES AND THEIR EFFECTS

80 to 90 degrees - Fatigue possible with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity.

90 to 105 degrees - Sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion are possible with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity.

105 to 130 degrees - Sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion are likely, and heatstroke is possible, with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity.

130 degrees and higher - Heatstroke or sunstroke are highly likely with continued exposure.

WHEN A HEAT WAVE STRIKES...

Increase your intake of non-alcoholic, non-carbonated, caffeine-free beverages, such as water and juice.

Wear clothing that is lightweight, light in color, and loose fitting.

Avoid the outdoors; stay out of the Sun.

Stay in an air-conditioned environment, if possible. Shopping malls offer relief if your home is not air-conditioned.

Check on the elderly; they are especially susceptible to heat-related illness.

Eliminate strenuous activity, such as jogging, biking, and lawn care work.

Eat less food that increases metabolic/heat activity, such as proteins.
