Ahead of the first day of summer on June 21, Albemarle County's Monday Minute advised residents to stay hydrated, take shade breaks, and check on family, neighbors and pets during extreme heat.
Albemarle County's Monday Minute reminded residents that the first day of summer arrives June 21 and encouraged precautions for high temperatures. The presenter recommended staying hydrated, taking breaks in the shade, and checking on family members, neighbors and pets during periods of extreme heat.
"With the first day of summer arriving on June 21st, now is a good time to prepare for summer temperatures. Stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade when spending time outdoors, and check on those family members, neighbors, and of course your pets during periods of extreme heat," the presenter said.
The bulletin framed the tips as general precautions to help everyone enjoy a safe, healthy summer.
