Be Aware of Excessive Heat Today

Heat index is expected to go above 95 degrees.

The National Weather Service has announced that the heat index will go above 95 degrees in Allegheny County this afternoon.

The high temperatures could be uncomfortable and dangerous. People spending a lot of time outside should wear light weight and loose-fitting clothing, and drink a lot of water to avoid heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Otherwise, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun or try to reschedule stenos outdoor activities to the evening.
