With excessive heat forecast for most of Riverside County, now is the time to plan for staying cool. Don’t forget to check in on elderly family and friends and those who may need help dealing with the high temperatures. Find preparedness tips at tinyurl.com/RivCoHeatSafety @RivCoNow
Those spending time outside this week, listen up!📢 The heat this week will be NO JOKE, with a prolonged period of extremely hot temperatures (some nearing records) practically area-wide. Know how to recognize heat stroke, limit time outside, and make sure to stay hydrated! #cawx
ALT Hot temperatures through the week and into next week. Prolonged heat will lead to additional heat stress, and overnight lows will not be relieving in the 80s and 90s. Excessive Heat Warning in effect for the deserts, inland areas, and mountains. Heat Advisory for the valleys and Santa Ana mountains.
Spending part of day in Washington DC as part of a panel to discuss health within the Hispanic community. Very excited to be part of this critical conversation.
