Excessive heat warning in effect from 10 AM TO 8 PM Friday and Saturday
The National Weather Service in Phoenix has issued an excessive heat warning for the desert areas of south-central and southwest Arizona from 10 AM to 8 PM Friday and Saturday.
VERY HOT WEATHER is expected to continue through Friday and Saturday.
The forecast high temperatures for Friday and Saturday are 115 degrees at Sky Harbor in Phoenix.
It would be wise to complete as much outdoor activity as possible in the early morning when the sun and heat are less intense.
During periods of excessive heat, individuals can suffer heat-related illness when the body temperature system can no longer cool itself. If you plan to be outside for an extended period of time especially during the afternoon and early evening stay in the shade as much as possible and drink abundant amounts of water. Wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. If you wear a wide-brimmed hat the head and body will be much cooler. Stop outdoor activities, drink lots of water or other non-alcoholic beverages. If possible, spend more time in air-conditioned or well-ventilated places.
