Impact & Risks

The extreme heat poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures and heat indices above 100°F (37°C) can lead to heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Outdoor workers and individuals engaging in strenuous activities are at heightened risk. Limited storm activity means little relief from the heat, further exacerbating the situation.
