Unseasonable Warmth to feel in Northwest and South California

A recent forecast reported unseasonable warmth in the Northwest, which will spread to South California.

The temperature in parts of the Northwest seems like summer.

According to AccuWeather, the warm stretch would go to near-record highs with reduced air quality and mainly dry.

The report said the warmer temperature would still be present this week and is expected to be felt southward in California.

Parts of California suffered from warm temperatures to extreme heat waves in September, which affected the power supply causing power outages in the city. Agriculture was also seen affected because of the dry weather.

Power facilities and state officials urged residents to conserve electricity by avoiding unnecessary use of appliances.

Seattle experienced 80 degrees (Saturday), while it reached 78 degrees (Monday).
Sacramento, California, could expect 90s temperature on Wednesday.
Fresno, California, could feel from the 80s to 90s by Saturday.

Potential rainfall in warm areas can help to ease the heat.

As residents might exhaust their air conditioning during the warmer to hot weather affecting the power grid, it is important to take note to conserve electricity.

Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center reported that one of the tropical systems they monitored became a tropical depression today, located in Cabo Verde Islands.

The tropical depression was seen moving at ten mph northwestward over the Atlantic Ocean's eastern part.

However, the Hurricane Center noted that tropical depression 12 would only be short-lived and is set to dissipate in a couple of days.

On the contrary, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine on health-related illness due to extreme heat, the article said prolonged exposure to heat without enough fluid in the body could result in heat-related issues.

It noted that heat cramps, heat stroke, and exhaustion are the most common heat-related illnesses.

The article explained that people with chronic and overweight problems are susceptible to heat risks.

How to handle the heat

Warmer to high temperatures are expected, according to the forecasts. Extreme heat can threaten your health. Handling the heat is essential as climate change contributes to the abnormal heat season.

Here are the tips you could do.

Drinking plenty of water is important during the warmer and hot weather. Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine drinks. Stroke and other heat-related health risks can happen in the middle of a record-high temperature.
Using air conditioning and adding insulation to your house can help alleviate the heat, or visit cooling place areas.
Refrain from doing outdoor activities during or during the time of hot weather. Strenuous activity during the heat could cause health-related problems.
You can travel to places with a cold environment.
Use thin clothes to ease the hot weather.
If any family members suffer from heat stroke or dehydration, immediately go to the hospital or the nearest clinic, especially those with chronic illnesses.
Rest in cool places if you feel heat cramps or exhaustion.
