Officials are urging everyone to take precautions, especially older adults, children and people who are more vulnerable to heat-related illness.
Health officials say the best way to beat the heat is to stay hydrated, limit time outdoors, take frequent breaks and find air conditioning whenever possible. They also remind people to check on children, older adults and neighbors who may be more vulnerable to heat-related illness.
