The National Weather Service warns that summer heat is returning to many areas, bringing heightened risk levels. The agency uses a combination of weather forecasts, climate data, and CDC health factors to determine daily heat danger for specific locations.
These assessments help communities prepare for potential health impacts associated with extreme heat. Officials advise residents to stay informed about local heat risk levels and take appropriate precautions.
