Cooling Centers offer relief during heat advisory
The National Weather Service has extended Sunday's heat advisory through 6 p.m. Monday triggering cooling centers to open throughout the Metro Detroit area.
High temperatures and humidity could bring us a heat index of more than 100 degrees.
The elderly, young children, and pets are most susceptible to heat-related illness. Under extreme heat conditions, heat stroke can occur.
Signs for heat stroke:
Body temperature that exceeds 103 degrees
Lack of sweating
Rapid pulse
Headache, nausea, confusion and even unconsciousness.
If someone is suffering from these symptoms, call 911 and try to help cool the victim to 101 or 102 degrees.
Extreme heat can be dangerous, so remember to take these precautions.
Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids.
Reduce your intake of caffeinated beverages.
Avoid strenuous outdoor work
Wear lightweight clothing.
Stay cool indoors.
Take cool showers or baths.
Check on elderly, disabled or ill friends and relatives regularly.
Do not leave children or pets in parked cars.
Make sure your pets have access to plenty of fresh water.
