Dit is toch niet meer serieus ... 100°F !

... Heat advisory remains in effect from 12 PM to 8 PM PDT Wednesday...
... Excessive heat watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening...

A heat advisory remains in effect from 12 PM to 8 PM PDT Wednesday. An excessive heat watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening.

This excessive heat watch is being issued utilizing a new heat health warning system. It is specific to the areas included in this heat watch. It is targeted at the elderly or infirmed... who might be much more sensitive to heat and thus at greater risk. Individuals who fall into this category should be especially careful by drinking plenty of water and seeking a cooler location for the day if no air conditioning is available. It is very important that friends or relatives check frequently on those who might be prone to heat sensitivity.

Also... never leave children... elderly or pets unattended in enclosed vehicles... even for a short time. Temperatures quickly rise to life-threatening levels even when the windows are partially opened.

A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air-conditioned room... stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and neighbors.


Ondertussen zijn we het weertje al wel gewoon geworden hier in California, maar komaan zeg, dit is toch niet meer serieus.


Er wordt hier een heat wave verwacht voor de komende dagen, met temperaturen rond de 100°F op donderdag en vrijdag, geen wolkje te bespeuren maar veel erger nog, op een doordeweekse werkdag. De hitte is er snel bij dit jaar. De oudjes worden aangeraden om verkoeling te gaan zoeken in de air-conditioning gekoelde shopping malls.

Snel de GFT effie buitenzetten...
