*Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing
*Stay in the shade during peak sun hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine!
As we head into a hot and humid weekend here in Iowa, it’s important to be mindful of how these conditions can affect your health. High humidity doesn’t just make you feel sticky, it can also increase your risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other health concerns.
💧 Stay Hydrated
Humidity makes it harder for your body to cool itself by sweating. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks, as they can contribute to dehydration.
