Hot weather is coming all week for the entire KVOE listening area, and the weather alerts now demonstrate that fact.
Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Osage and Wabaunsee counties are already going into a heat advisory at noon. That continues until 9 pm Thursday. Chase and Greenwood counties are in a separate heat advisory from 1 pm Tuesday to 9 pm Thursday.
Heat index readings could be as high as 105 areawide Tuesday.
Right now, parts of 18 states are under some sort of heat alert from the Northern Plains to the Deep South.
Be sure to spend as much time in air conditioning as possible. If you can’t, take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening and take more breaks than you normally would. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing whenever possible. If traveling or running errands with children, be sure to take them with you if you go inside a building.
We’ll keep you updated on KVOE, KVOE.com and KVOE social media.
