I am posting this here to get the most distribution out of it.
I get these from the Weatherbug site from time to time and they have some really useful stuff.
Dear WeatherBug User,
As you know, much of the country has been experiencing exceptionally hot
conditions of late, and we would like to remind you to take the temperature
and heat index into account when planning your daily outdoor activities.
The heat index is a combination of the current outdoor temperature and the
relative humidity, or amount of moisture present in the air. The higher
the outdoor temperature and relative humidity, the greater the heat index
and more at risk you and your pets are to suffering from heat exhaustion.
Fortunately, AWS WeatherBug can help you prepare for any outdoor excursion.
Simply click on the temperature in the tray and look for the value titled,
"Heat Index." If the value is above 105 degrees, chances are the National
Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for your area, and special
precautions are necessary. Below are some heat safety tips from the
National Weather Service:
1. Slow down - Strenuous activities should be reduced or rescheduled to
the coolest time of the day.
2. Dress for summer - Wear light-weight, and light-colored clothing.
3. Stay hydrated - Your body needs water to stay cool. Even if you don't
feel thirsty, continue to drink water.
4. Don't get too much sun - Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that
much more difficult.
5. Spend more time in air-conditioned places - Spending time in
air-conditioned buildings makes the body's job of staying cool that much
easier.
6. Do not drink alcoholic beverages - The intake of alcohol only leads to
further dehydration.
So remember, before you head outside, check your WeatherBug to make sure
that you're ready for whatever summer has to throw at you! Stay cool with
WeatherBug! If you need to reinstall WeatherBug, visit:
