In the next few days, Mother Nature is expected to crank up
the heat as
temperatures will soar into the 90s. People will undoubtedly be
looking to find ways to cool down.
News 12’s Andrew Ehinger was at Jones Beach on Sunday to
speak with Long Islanders about how they plan to beat the heat.
With a possible heat wave to start the workweek, medical
professionals are reminding Long Islanders to stay in the shade, wear light
clothing and sunscreen and keep hydrated.
Doctors warn that heat stroke and heat exhaustion can happen
quickly in high humidity so beware of the warning signs.
“If you start feeling your muscles start cramping when you
are outside and you start getting dizzy and heart racing, really get yourself
into a cool place at that time,” says Dr. Payal Sud, of Glen Cove Hospital.
