Dangerous Heat Wave Hits Kansas City with 110° Index, Hot Nights Through Wednesday

According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, the Extreme Heat Warning will continue to be in effect until Wednesday evening at seven o’clock.

This warning will encompass Kansas City, Olathe, Independence, and even as far east as Sedalia and Moberly.

It is important to note that temperatures may remain in the upper 70s into the night, making it more difficult for residents to recuperate from the heat of the day.

There will be an increase in the likelihood of heat exhaustion and heat stroke in the counties of Miami, Johnson, Wyandotte, and Leavenworth in Kansas, as well as in the counties of Platte, Clay, Jackson, Cass, and Johnson in Missouri.

Keep yourself inside with air conditioning, drink plenty of water, and make sure to check on vulnerable relatives and neighbors, according to the recommendations of the local authorities.

In addition, residents should use caution when working outside, wear lightweight clothing, and plan their activities for the early morning or after sunset or early evening.

In order to assist citizens in coping with the prolonged heat, city cooling facilities may extend their hours of operation.

It is imperative that you never, even for a short period of time, leave children or pets in parked automobiles, since the conditions can quickly become fatal.

The Extreme Heat Warning will continue to be in effect until Wednesday evening, and more advisories may be issued if the heat wave continues.
