And with those temperatures, a dangerously high heat index is in the forecast. In order to prevent heat exhaustion for those wishing to enjoy the dog days of summer, EKB News caught up with Pikeville Emergency Management officials to learn ways to stay safe in the oppressive heat. Clean your day around the heat if you can. You want to try to get your activities done early in the morning or late in the evening. You definitely want to stay plenty hydrated, drink lots of water, try to stay away from sugary drinks, caffeine, things of that nature because that'll just make things a little worse on you. You want to wear a loose-fitting, light-colored clothes and limit your exposure if you can while you're outside. It's also a good idea to travel in pairs. During this heat, we always tell people, use the buddy system. If you're going to be out here, come with somebody so we can keep an eye on each other. You want to follow the same advice, try to do it early in the morning, late in the evening. That way you get a little bit of cool temperatures. During warm summer days, it's important to be aware of your body. The things you want to look for is heavy sweating, cool to the touch, skin, flush, pale-looking, a little bit exhausted, nausea, confusion when people experience these symptoms. You definitely want to get them out of this heat as quickly as you can. The temperatures across the region should rise Thursday and be noticeable Friday.
