Extreme Heat and Your Health

Hotter and more humid conditions are expected Friday through this weekend in Virginia, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 90s and heat index values in the upper 90s to lower 100s.

The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts many locations in Virginia will experience heat in the Red (Major) category. This level of heat affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.

Heat related deaths and illnesses are preventable. Despite this fact, approximately 1,220 people in the United States are killed by extreme heat every year.

CDC’s website offers hot weather tips, signs of heat-related illness, FAQs, social media resources, + resources for health professionals.

Stay safe!
