Essential Tips for Staying Safe During Extreme Heat

UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – A heat dome over the Mississippi Valley will cause dangerous heat and humidity lasting into late July, with a high risk for extreme heat in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys, NOAA said.

  • A high-risk heat zone is expected, with NOAA indicating a high risk of extreme heat on July 24-25 in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys.
  • A heat dome of high pressure over the Mississippi Valley causes sinking air that suppresses clouds, leading to extreme heat, NOAA said.
  • From Wednesday through Friday, heat index values could soar well above 100°F, impacting Des Moines, Peoria and St. Louis.
  • Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heat stroke can raise body temperature to 106°F or higher within a short period, and officials advise limiting outdoor activity.
  • In the Plains and South, the heat wave may persist into the last weekend of July.
