current weather conditions in hell
By vrtualme | July 4, 2007
Today in Yuma we are suppose to have record breaking heat with some reports that temperatures would reach 118. But as of 1:50 pm we’re only at 105 (about average here). Though I still haven’t decided if fireworks are worth leaving the comfort of my air-conditioned apartment.
The national weather service has issued an “Excessive Heat Warning”
Stating…
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WILL REMAIN STRONG THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE VERY HOT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS OVER THE DESERTS OF ARIZONA AND SOUTHEASTERN CALIFORNIA…WITH RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HEAT LIKELY TODAY AND THURSDAY. FORECAST HIGHS TODAY INCLUDE 116 AT YUMA. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL CHANGE VERY LITTLE AND SHOULD REMAIN NEAR RECORD LEVELS.
IT WOULD BE WISE TO COMPLETE AS MUCH OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AS POSSIBLE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE SUN AND HEAT ARE LESS INTENSE.
DURING PERIODS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT…INDIVIDUALS CAN SUFFER HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS WHEN THE BODY TEMPERATURE SYSTEM CAN NO LONGER COOL ITSELF.
IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUTSIDE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IN THE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING…STAY IN THE SHADE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND DRINK ABUNDANT AMOUNTS OF WATER. WEAR LIGHT-COLORED AND LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING. IF YOU WEAR A WIDE-BRIMMED HAT…YOUR HEAD AND BODY WILL BE MUCH COOLER. STOP OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES..DRINK LOTS OF WATER OR OTHER NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES…AND IF POSSIBLE…SPEND MORE TIME IN AIR-CONDITIONED OR WELL-VENTILATED PLACES.
