Temperatures set to rise next week LAUREN LEONE Daily Egyptian While temperatures in Carbondale may be cooler this week, 90-degree weather will make its return as soon as Saturday or early next week, said Clint Misselhorn, weather specialist for WSIL-TV. The Illinois Department of Human Services opened 120 government offices as cooling centers to the public June 8 after the heat index ranged from 98 to 105 degrees during the week, Misselhorn said. DHS buildings in both Murphysboro and Marion will be open to the public as cooling centers if temperatures reach the same levels again, he said.
"It was a decent heat wave, which isn't out of the ordinary. It was not record numbers," he said. "It was just downright hot." Heat is the No. 1 weatherrelated killer in the U.S. according to the National Weather Service’s website. It causes more fatalities per year than lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods combined according to the website. High-risk individuals such as the elderly and infants should take precaution on hot summer days, said Dr. Angela Bell, sports medicine Fellow at the Student Health Center. She said people should pay close attention to their neighbors, particularly elders, infants and pets in extreme heat conditions.
Heat exhaustion symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, Bell said. People often confuse heat exhaustion with heat stroke, which is more severe, she said. A change in mental status such as confusion and loss of balance is a key indication of heat stroke. Bell said immersing the patient in cold water or an ice bath may become necessary for severe cases of heat exhaustion or stroke. Some people might experience what is called a non-exertional heat stroke, Bell said, in which the person stops sweating. She said this doesn’t necessarily mean the person is fine. Staying up-to-date on weather forecasts and temperatures
throughout the day is crucial, too, said Michelle McLernon, outreach coordinator at the SIUC Wellness Center. “If you’re going to go for a run, do it early in the morning or later in the evening,� she said. “Wait until the sun is going down to do your outdoor workout.� Students should consider the Recreation Center as an alternative workout facility if they choose to workout midday, McLernon said. Misselhorn said there are three tips to keep in mind. “The first is to slow down and to take it easy. Take breaks in the shade. Air conditioning is your best friend,� he said. Misselhorn also said those without air conditioning should
find another place to spend the day. He said lightly colored and loosefitted clothing can help, too. Drinking plenty of fluids such as water or juice, and avoiding caffeinated and alcoholic drinks will help prevent dehydration, McLernon said. “Hydration is key. Beer, caffeine ‌ those types of products actually remove fluids from your body instead of refueling them,â€? she said. Although the Climate Prediction Center of the weather service has predicted cooler-than-normal temperatures for the months of June, July and August for southern Illinois, people should still be aware of the dangers, Misselhorn said. “When it comes to heat, the heat will win,â€? he said.
