Driving in extreme temperatures
The Arizona Department of Transportation's tips for driving in extreme temperatures include:
Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing.
Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat.
Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated.
Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows.
Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire.
Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout.

More dry conditions in Colorado before monsoon moisture
Monsoon moisture is expected to return to Colorado this week, but before it arrives, the Front Range will see mostly dry conditions with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures on Sunday will be in the mid-90s for the metro area, with 70s and 80s in the mountains. A couple of areas could see an afternoon thunderstorm, but most will notice an increase in clouds throughout the day with a little breeze. That changes mid-week as Colorado sits between a low-pressure system and a high-pressure system, which will pull moisture from the Pacific and the Gulf. The rain will be a welcome sight for the state as the western half is seeing severe to extreme drought.

This week, for the first time in a year, following major repairs. It is now one of seven pools run by Portland Parks and Recreation. However, the City of Portland warns that pools are not a reliable place to cool off. 'While pools are excellent recreation sites, we do NOT consider pools as places to stay cool,' a city spokesperson said. First and foremost, not everyone can swim, plus, pools are subject to capacity limits and programming like water fitness classes, swim team practices, etc.; outdoor pools may have to close (even if temporarily) during extreme heat for the safety of staff and visitors; the concrete decks can get very hot; and so on.'

Other Ways to Cool Down According to the American Red Cross, there are three important steps for staying safe during a heat advisory. Stay Hydrated: Drink a cup of water every 20 minutes, even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Stay Cool: Spend time in air-conditioned places. If your home is too hot, go to a mall, library or cooling center. Stay Connected: Check on others and ask for help if you need it. Make sure pets have access to fresh water and shade. 'Knowing what to do to protect yourself and loved ones from extreme heat can save lives,' Priscilla Fuentes with the Red Cross said. 'We're asking everyone to check on friends and neighbors, especially older adults, people with chronic conditions, outdoor workers and athletes. You could make all the difference by sending a text, making a call or knocking on their door.'

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911. Protect your Children In addition to managing hydration levels, medical experts with the University of Washington also say it is important for children to wear sunscreen. 'Generally in the first six months of life, it's better not to put sunscreen on your baby. You need to use clothing or keep your baby out of direct sunlight as they get older, and you want to let them have sun exposure, it's good to choose sunscreen,' Dr. Brian Johnston with UW pediatric medicine said. We recommend anything with an SPF of 15 or higher. Usually an SPF of 30 is sufficient.' Children and pets should never be left unattended in a car. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
