Extreme heat safety tips as dangerous temperatures hit US

More than 185 million Americans are on alert for life-threatening heat and humidity from South Dakota to Florida on Monday. Parts of Mississippi and Louisiana are on alert for heat indices -- what the temperature feels like with humidity -- of up to 120 degrees. Extreme heat warnings are in place for parts of South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, where it could feel like over 110 degrees. MORE: How to conserve energy during a heat wave From Boston to Philadelphia, it'll feel like the mid-90s to lower 100s through Wednesday. Extreme heat is considered the deadliest weather-related hazard in the U.S., according to the Fifth National Climate Assessment. About 2,000 Americans die each year on average from extreme heat, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here are heat safety tips from the CDC: Wear sunscreen Take precautions to prevent sunburn, which can make you dehydrated and affect your ability to cool down. Use sunscreen that's SPF 15 or higher 30 minutes before going outside. Sunscreens that say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" are best. Stay hydrated Drink extra fluids, and don't wait until you're thirsty. Avoid very sugary drinks and alcohol, which can cause your body to lose more fluid, and be wary of extra-cold drinks that may cause stomach cramps. Avoiding hot and heavy meals also can reduce your body's overall temperature. Limit time outside Cut down on exercise during heat waves and rest often and in shady areas. Try to limit your time outside to when it is cooler, like in the early morning and evening. Check the car Never leave children in a parked car -- even if windows are cracked open. MORE: Hot car safety tips Monitor high-risk loved ones Anyone can suffer from heat-related illness at any time, but these people are at greater risk: -- Babies and young children -- Overweight people -- Those 65 years old or older -- People who overexert during work or exercise -- Those who suffer from heart disease or high blood pressure and those who take certain medications, including for depression, insomnia or poor circulation Watch for signs of illness Symptoms of heat stroke include: -- Body temperature of 103 degrees or higher -- Hot, red, dry or damp skin -- Fast, strong pulse -- Headache -- Dizziness -- Nausea -- Confusion -- Passing out -- No longer sweating Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: -- Heavy sweating -- Cold, pale, clammy skin -- Fast, weak pulse -- Nausea or vomiting -- Muscle cramps -- Feeling tired or weak -- Headache -- Passing out If someone shows symptoms of heat stroke or heat exhaustion, call 911, move them somewhere cooler and use towels to cool down their body. Don't forget about your furry friends! Here are some tips from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for how to keep your pets safe in the heat: provide plenty of fresh water so they don't get dehydrated; don't over-exercise pets; never leave pets alone in a parked car; and watch for symptoms of overheating, which include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate and drooling. Animals with flat faces, like pugs, can't pant as well and are more at risk of heat stroke. These pets, as well as older and overweight pets, should be kept inside as much as possible. What constitutes a heat wave? A heat wave is a continuous period of abnormally hot weather, generally lasting over two days, according to the National Weather Service. However, the definition of a heat wave varies by region. In the Midwest and the Northeast, a heat wave is considered three or more days in a row of temperatures of at least 90 degrees. But in Phoenix, for example, temperatures are regularly well above 90 degrees and into the triple digits without it being from a heat wave. So a heat wave is relative to the local average temperature and may require temperatures to be significantly above normal for several days, according to the NWS.

NWS: Indianapolis temperatures could feel as high as 107 degrees as week begins

A heat advisory is in effect for Indianapolis until 8 p.m. on July 29. Heat indices will spike as high as 107 degrees on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Overnight temperatures will provide little relief from the sweltering daytime heat, dipping only into the mid-70s. "That's even almost just as dangerous as the hot temperatures, especially for those vulnerable populations without adequate AC," said National Weather Service meteorologist Cody Moore. Moore suggested limiting time outside, wearing light-colored clothing and using a cooling center during the day if needed. "This is above average for this time of year, but we expect this. It's July, this is not anything out of the ordinary," Moore said. Humidity increases in part at this time of year because of the phenomenon of "corn sweat," he added. Isolated thunderstorms will provide some temporary relief amidst the sweltering weather on July 28 and July 29. But as the sun comes back out in the afternoons, the residual moisture from those storms will make the air feel very humid. A flood warning is in effect for Marion County until 11:15 a.m. on July 28. The heat wave should break on July 30, when a storm system will move into the area and knock temperatures down to more tolerable levels for at least a few days. On July 31, the high temperature will be a modest 78 degrees. Indianapolis weather forecast ☀️/⛈️ Monday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before noon.

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Check on relatives and neighbors, especially the elderly and those without access to air conditioning. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities. If possible, delay outdoor chores until the evening hours. When working outside, wear light, loose-fitting clothing. Take frequent breaks in the shade or an air-conditioned room. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you or someone you know experiences signs of heat stroke, call 911 and take immediate action to cool off the person until help arrives. Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle. Bring pets indoors and ensure they have plenty of water to drink. The city said pets are not to be outside unsupervised when the temperature is higher than 90 degrees or a heat advisory is in effect. Consider carrying an umbrella for immediate shade while outside. Dial 211 or 866-211-9966 to reach Indiana 211 for non-emergency resources.
