Heat, heat, and more heat

Anyone in the Sacramento area will tell you that it gets hot here in the summer. Temps in the 90's and occasionally in the 100's are not uncommon in July and August. However, we have had 10 straight days of temps over 100.

Right now, at 2:44 in the afternoon, it is already 108 today. Expected high is 114. We may actually go over that as well. Temps in the 110's are killer temps anywhere. Heat exhaustion can quickly lead to heat stroke, which is imminently life-threatening. Your body literally goes to 107-108 degrees, and you cook in your own body. People die from this. And not just the elderly. A 34 year old man may have died the other day down in Fresno due to heat stroke.

Stay hydrated, everyone! Stay safe!
