Extreme Weather Warning: Record Breaking Heat Wave

Posted on June 28, 2013 | Leave a comment

7 Day Local Forecast

Weather Warning

A blistering, potentially historic and record-breaking heat wave is beginning today in the West, and is forecast to last at least through the weekend.

“An excessive heat warning is issued when temperatures are forecast to reach dangerous levels that will stress the body if precautions are not taken,” the weather service warns.

Infants and children, the elderly, as well as those with chronic medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, asthma, hypertension and diabetes are at increased risk for heat-related illness, according to Robert Glatter, emergency room physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. He says to prevent the adverse effects of heat-related illness, stay in a cool air-conditioned environment with access to plenty of cool fluids, mainly water.

The cause of the heat wave is a “massive and unusually strong high-pressure system” over the region, the weather service reports.

Check out this video on how to survive the blistering heat!

Tips to Prevent Heat Related Illnesses

Heat stroke—which occurs when the body can’t control its temperature—may result in disability or death if emergency treatment is not given. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses a large amount of water and salt contained in sweat.

Warning signs of heat stroke vary, but may include:

An extremely high body temperature (above 103 degrees Fahrenheit, orally)
Unconsciousness
Dizziness, nausea and confusion
Red, hot and dry skin (no sweating)
Rapid, strong pulse
Throbbing headache
Heavy sweating
Muscle cramps
Weakness
Headache
Paleness, tiredness, dizziness

If you see any of these signs for heat stroke or heat exhaustion, you may be dealing with a life-threatening emergency and should do the following:

Have someone call 911 while you begin cooling the victim.
Get the victim to a shady area.
Cool the victim rapidly with a cool bath or shower, or by sponging with cool water, until body temperature drops to 101-102 degrees Fahrenheit, orally.
If emergency medical personnel are delayed, call the hospital emergency room for further instructions.
Do not give the victim alcohol to drink.
Again, get medical assistance as soon as possible.

If a victim’s muscles twitch uncontrollably as a result of heat stroke, keep the victim from injuring him/herself, but do not place any object in the mouth and do not give fluids. If there is vomiting, make sure the airway remains open by turning the victim on his/her side.

Don’t Forget the Pets

Animals, particularly those that spend time outdoors, are vulnerable to the heat as well. Check out the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals websitefor important tips on keeping your pets protected from heat and other emergencies!

Hope everyone stays cool during this massive heat wave! Remember cooling centers such as libraries, community centers, and Sunvalley Mall are always a good alternative to maxing out your energy bill!

Super Moon Tonight & Tomorrow Morning

Posted on June 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

1589_146444872213842_1702015007_n

Gaze up at the sky tonight to catch a glimpse of a rare ‘super’ supermoon, the huge perigee moon that will be shining brightly over this weekend.

The super moon which will occur tonight and on June 23, will appear to be bigger than the average full moon as it will be lined up with the sun perfectly so that the moon will appear to be brighter and bigger.

The moon will be at its closes point to Earth on June 23 at 7:32 a.m. EDT but will appear just as big tonight.

This weekend’s super moon is known as a “perigee” full moon, which means that it’s orbit is closes to the center of Earth in a month. Full moons do no necessarily happen during a perigee but when it does, it means the sun, earth and moon align. Another super moon like this will not be seen until August 2014.

The perigee and full moon this month will only be an hour apart.

Sunday’s super full moon means that the moon will be 221,824 miles away from Earth. The period where the moon orbits furthest from Earth is called an apogee. In an apogee, the moon is 30,000 further away from this point.

According to NASA scientists, this weekend’s super moon will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a regular full moon.

The best time to view the ‘super’ super moon will be around sunset and into the evenings on June 22 and 23 bearing that the night sky is clear and void of clouds. Watch the video below to learn more about this cosmic event!
