Stay Safe and Cool in This Week’s Excessive Heat!

The entire Commonwealth is in for a dangerous scorcher today, with extreme heat warnings in the eastern portion of the state and southwest and heat advisory’s everywhere else. Heat index values highs of up to 104 are expected as far north as Bradford County, the southcentral portions of the state will feel like 108 while the southeast will feel as hot as 110. In addition, many areas are under an orange air quality alert for elevated levels of ozone.

Residents are also encouraged to utilize air-conditioned facilities such as libraries, community and senior centers, schools, churches and malls during the heat wave to reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses. Here’s a look at some Susquehanna Valley cooling centers and senior centers that will extend hours over the next several days.

Anyone spending time outside today during this heat wave, and those that do not have air conditioning inside, are reminded of the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and cautioned to stop and cool down immediately if you or those around you are experiencing the signs listed in the chart below:
