The city's public health officials will be closely watching for signs of heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which can be exacerbated by the high heat index. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day, and check on neighbors who may be at risk.
