Heat Safety

Dangerously hot temperatures will continue for the next several days. High temperatures will top out in the mid 90s to low 100s with heat index values in the upper 90s to low 100s through the end of the week. This will lead to widespread heat related impacts, especially for those without adequate cooling and those sensitive to heat.

A Heat Advisory is now in effect for all of central SD and portions of northeast SD and west central MN until 10 PM CDT/9 PM MDT Thursday. Prolonged dangerously hot temperatures and high humidity may lead to heat illnesses.

HeatRisk is expected to be in the Major to Extreme categories meaning no overnight relief and impacts to anyone without cooling/hydration and those sensitive to heat as well as some industries and infrastructure. Make sure to be on the lookout for any symptoms of heat related illnesses. Never leave children or pets unattended in a hot vehicle! Look before you lock!

Practice heat safety wherever you are.
