Hot During The Day, And Hot At Night, Too

The weather’s heating up around southern Wisconsin, and cities are doing what they can to keep people cool. Due to the warm temperatures, county officials have declared extreme weather nightfor each night this week, meaning no one will be turned away from emergency shelters due to capacity or shelter night limits. Multiple municipalities are opening buildings to serve as cooling centers during the warmer weather. The goal is to help combat heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Officials encouraged everyone to limit outdoor activity, don’t sit in a parked car or leave children or pets in a parked car, drink more water than usual, wear loose fitting clothes and check in on friends, loved ones and neighbors.
