Central Wyoming is experiencing a heat wave with temperatures rising into the mid to upper 90s, increasing the risk of overheating and heat-related illnesses.
Beating the Heat
To stay safe, residents are advised to acclimate to the heat, stay hydrated by drinking small amounts of water frequently, and eat small meals or snacks before heading outdoors.
Additionally, avoiding alcohol and sugar, taking breaks in cool and shady spots, and keeping skin cool with cooling towels or fans can help reduce the risk of heat-related issues.
Avoiding direct sun exposure by wearing hats, breathable long-sleeved shirts, and sunscreen is also crucial.
