The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a
heat advisory... which is in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday. Sunday
will likely be similar to Saturday... with maximum temperatures
near or above the century mark... and with heat index values of 105
degrees or higher during the afternoon.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
If you plan to be outside... avoid prolonged exposure or strenuous
physical activity. Your body can lose up to a gallon of water an
hour through perspiration. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid
dehydration. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can increase the
rate of water loss in your body... increasing the risk of heat
exhaustion or stroke. Wear lightweight... light-colored... loose-
fitting clothing. Wear a hat to shield yourself from the sun...
and use a sunscreen to reduce possible sunburn.
