It’s Too Hot!

Riverside, CA – Temperatures are high across Southern California. Residents in the inland region are not only dealing with the oppressive heat but also smoke from the Apple fire that has burned for more than two weeks. The triple-digit heat wave is projected to continue for the next week to 10 days. Local officials remind residents although it is hot it is still essential to socially distance or to wear a mask when in close contact with others. The best idea is to stay inside as much as possible. It’s especially important to avoid being outside (or at least skip any strenuous activities) during the hottest time of day — generally between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. It is best to limit your exposure to the sun, and if you do go outside, take frequent breaks, find shade, wear light clothing and a hat, and use sunscreen.
