Low temperatures Wednesday night will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s. The combination of these near record hot temperatures and high humidities will result in heat index values as high as 112 degrees during the afternoon and early evening hours in the downtown metropolitan areas.
In addition... the valley air district has issued an air quality alert due to smoke impacts from fires throughout the central California interior in effect until noon Wednesday.
Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air conditioned room... and stay out of the sun. Check up on anyone most susceptible to excessive heat... such as an elderly neighbor... at least twice a day. Pets are also susceptible to heat illness and should be cared for accordingly.
Never leave children or pets in a vehicle... even for short periods of time. Temperatures inside vehicles can climb rapidly to life threatening levels... even with windows partially Open.
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible.
