Foothills County is under another heat warning.
Daytime highs are expected to be between 29 and 33 degrees for much of this week, and with the overnight lows expected to be between 14 and 18 degrees, there won't be much reprieve from the heat.
With the heat expected to last into the weeked, it is advised for people to take precautions to protect themselves, their families and neighbours from the heat, by rescheduling outdoor activities to the cooler parts of the day, taking frequent breaks from the heat and spending time in cooler indoor spaces when possible, and drink plenty of non-alcoholic and non-caffeinated beverages to stay hydrated.
And it is very important to not leave any person or pet inside a closed vehicle for any length of time.
During this heatwave, monitor for symptoms of heat stroke and heat exhaustion, which include a high body temperature, a lack of sweat, fainting, confusion, and unconsciousness, and keep an eye on the individuals who may experience earlier or more severe effects from the heat, such as children, seniors, and anyone who has a pre-existing lung, heart, kidney, nervous system, mental health or diabetic conditions, those who work outdoors, and those who are socially isolated.
These heat warnings are issued whenever high temperatures are expected to pose a heightened risk of heat illnesses.
