Heat Safety

Created by the NWS Seattle WFO

Hot conditions are expected across western Washington early this week. If you plan to spend time outside, be sure to take breaks in the AC, and stay hydrated as much as possible. Don't forget to wear sunscreen and loose-fitting clothing!

Heat Danger Beyond Heatwaves. Most heat-related deaths occur outside heat waves. Stay Weather-Ready! Avoid overexertion and stay hydrated. Heat stroke can occur even during moderate heat. Never leave people or pets in a vehicle. Hot car deaths occur year-round. Assist those who are at higher risk for heat-related illness, including children, pregnant people, and older adults.
