Hutchinson and Reno County will face heat indices of 110 degrees Monday and 111 degrees Tuesday according to a weather release by the National Weather Service in Wichita.
“Limit strenuous activities during the afternoon hours if possible,” the National Weather Service’s official Facebook page read. “Make sure to stay hydrated.”
Wednesday will see an index of 111 degrees with Thursday slightly cooler at 106 degrees.
Those working in the hottest hours of the day should take extra heat safety precautions, including watching out for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The NWS recommends loosening clothing, moving to a cooler area and sipping cool water if symptoms arise.
“With a return to the heat this week, please make sure to look for the signs of heat illness,” the page read. “Check on your family, friends and neighbors.”
