An excessive heat warning continues to be in effect as Las Vegas experiences triple-digit temperatures. According to the Country Herald, the warning has been issued for the region until 8 p.m. PDT (11 p.m. ET) on October 1. The report further stated that the temperature may exceed 100°F, which is why residents are advised to limit outdoor activity. The warning continues to remain operational after it was issued last week.
Extreme Las Vegas heat will continue to hit triple digits until Tuesday
After last week’s weather report, excessive heat warnings remain in effect in Las Vegas and surrounding areas. Country Herald also reported that the daytime temperatures can go up to 104°F on Monday and Tuesday. Moreover, the National Weather Service (NWS) stated that there are higher chances of heat-related issues as the heatwave continues.
Las Vegas and surrounding areas, including Boulder City and Northeast Clark County, are experiencing temperature hikes from 102°F to 108°F. The NWS also issued safety suggestions for people in the city to protect themselves from the excessive heat. Residents are further advised to drink plenty of fluids amid heat waves to prevent dehydration. They should also stay in air-conditioned rooms and check up on neighbors and relatives.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advises individuals working outdoors to take frequent breaks and stay away from the sun. Any resident overcome by heat should be moved to a cooler and shaded location. Since heat stroke is deemed an emergency, residents who seem to be affected should seek immediate medical attention by calling 911. The heatwave is reportedly expected to reduce by Tuesday evening.
Earlier, a similar heat warning was issued for Las Vegas Valley, warning residents of triple-digit temperatures. While the excessive heat warning was expected to last until 8 p.m. on September 29, it has now been extended to October 1.
