Excessive Heat Warning

 August 11, 2021

Highs today will be in the lower 90s with heat indices up to 106 possible. Heat indices will fall into the mid 80s by midnight. Humidity values are expected to range 60-80% for most of the day. The NWS has a Heat Advisory and an Excessive Heat Warning in effect until 7pm tomorrow. Similar conditions are expected for tomorrow

An Excessive Heat Warning is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 105 degrees or greater. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible, and drink plenty of water. Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoors. Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1

Heat is one of the leading weather-related killers in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year. Heat can be very taxing on the body; check out the heat related illnesses that can occur with even a short period of exposure. Everyone can be vulnerable to heat, but some more so than others. According to The Impacts Of Climate Change On Human Health In The United States: A Scientific Assessment the following groups are particularly vulnerable to heat; check in with friends and relatives who fall in one of these populations, especially if they don’t have air conditioning.

Young children and infants are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illness and death, as their bodies are less able to adapt to heat than are adults.

Older adults, particularly those with pre existing diseases, take certain medications, are living alone or with limited mobility who are exposed to extreme heat can experience multiple adverse effects.

People with chronic medical conditions are more likely to have a serious health problem during a heat wave than healthy people.

Pregnant women are also at higher risk. Extreme heat events have been associated with adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant mortality, as well as congenital cataracts.

It is NEVER safe to leave a child, disabled person or pet locked in a car, even in the winter. If you have a toddler in your household, lock your cars, even in your own driveway.  Kids play in cars or wander outside and get into a car and can die in 10 minutes! A reported 25 children died in hot cars in 2020. To see the latest information for 2021, go to this link. Deaths routinely are reported as early as April and tragedies continue into December in southern states.

If you look to your right going from Main Street to Atlantic over the Little St Bridge, you'll see it. I'm 75. When I was young, we could swim under there. Walk the trestle too hoping no train came. The lake filled in tho so that part of lake Matawan is only small creek now. The kids used to jump off the Little St Bridge, (some more than once). Our presumed off the trestle.

Where’s exactly was this ? Hope everyone is okay !

Do we know what caused the fire yet? 💯%

Great work!

Good work. And thank you from a retired 29-2990. Also I grew up on the block near the tracks near lake. And I think it’s a shame it was left to be destroyed. I know that New Jersey transit owns it and they gave a fight when MONMOUTH county wanted to connect The Henry Hudson Trail.

In case you're not familiar with where in Matawan this occurred, use "42 Park Ave" as a reference on Google Maps, and look at the aerial view. The train trestle is just beyond the usable part of the Henry Hudson Trail where it ends at Stillwell St/Water St.

My moms house was about 500 ft up on 1st street and lake Blvd. thank goodness no wind 🌬️.
