🌡️ Severe Weather Awareness Week — Day 5: Extreme Heat
Don't underestimate heat. Excessive heat is Wisconsin's single deadliest weather factor since 1982, responsible for 144 deaths — more than tornadoes, flooding, or blizzards.
In Minnesota, only tornadoes and flooding have killed more people than heat since 1990.

Remember that if you're drinking lots of water you also need to take in salt. Drinking too much water without also adding electrolytes can actually *cause* dehydration. So if you're craving salty snacks, HAVE SOME! 🍿
Stay safe, friends!

The #AFLW #AFLWFinals are about to punish two teams by playing in 34+ degree weather, and one of the teams will have to back it up at the next #Final (prelim) next weekend. At a suburban ground with limited shade and shelter for spectators too
And, of course, no pre-show on TV, because it's important the women aren't treated equally, or they might start to expect a full home-and-away season or something.

Are there any #publichealth / #heatstress / #heat / #climate professionals on here who’d be willing to briefly consult on a #heatsafety project I’m designing?
I’m trying to make #WBGT more intuitive and actionable for the general public (but especially #construction workers and #running/ #athletes), and I want to modify how the temperature is presented, responsibly.
Thank you!
(Draft design attached, but seeking expert feedback on things not pictured here.)

The heat protection ordinance for city contractors requires that contractors have a Heat Safety Plan with elements such as availability of drinking water, breaks, shade, indoor cooling, acclimatization protocols, heat safety training, and more. https://tucsonaz.hylandcloud.com/221agendaonline/Documents/ViewDocument/ORDINANCE%2012100.pdf?meetingId=1788&documentType=Agenda&itemId=72313&publishId=151219&isSection=false #heatsafety

#farmworkers are 35 times more likely to die of heat than other Americans. Yet #california is one of only four states with #heatsafety standards, and there are no federal heat protections for farmworkers.

Incredibly useful heat recovery information in here!
TLDR:
-To cool down body, apply coolness to palms, soles of feet, forehead. (Fascinating physiological reason)
-Not too cold or blood vessels will constrict and slow blood flow (not ice)
-Not cool towel on back of neck because it will fool a sensor there into thinking body is already cooled offhttps://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/how-to-cool-down-fast-in-summer-heat/

#ALwx 🐾 #HeatSafety Advice: Test sidewalks with your hand. Asphalt gets VERY HOT during the day, which can burn your pet’s paw pads. Make sure to walk your dog on the grass and keep walks to a minimum during the afternoon.
If it’s too hot for you, then it’s too hot for your pets!🐶
