...HEAT SAFETY RULES TO KEEP IN MIND...

WITH THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT HEAT WAVE EXPECTED IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE
FROM LATE THIS WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER A FEW SAFETY TIPS TO HELP EVERYONE DEAL WITH THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU SHOULD REDUCE OR ELIMINATE STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES.
WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT, LIGHT-COLORED CLOTHING, AND, OF COURSE, DRINK
PLENTY OF WATER OR OTHER NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. DURING THE
HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY, BE SURE TO SPEND TIME IN AIR-CONDITIONED
PLACES. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO AVOID TOO MUCH DIRECT SUN, AND TO
LIMIT YOUR SALT INTAKE.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURE TO REMEMBER INVOLVES EXCESSIVE
HEAT IN AUTOMOBILE INTERIORS. INSIDE TEMPERATURES CAN BECOME
SUFFOCATING WHEN EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR EVEN A SHORT TIME,
SO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS LOCKED INSIDE, EVEN WITH
THE WINDOWS DOWN.

EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES, EVEN TRIPLE-DIGIT READINGS, ARE NOT
UNCOMMON TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE, BUT WITH NEAR-RECORD TEMPERATURES
POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND, THE EXTREME HEAT IS
NOT TO BE TAKEN CASUALLY.
