Unfortunately, while in Canada, I accidentally drank water at a hotel that was marked unsafe to drink and I’m definitely paying for it now.
I’m calling off today’s chase and heading back to the city tomorrow to recover. Not the outcome I wanted, but health comes first. Appreciate everyone’s understanding.
A widespread heat wave will build across the central U.S. through midweek before shifting to the East Coast, where it peaks on Friday, then slowly ease over the weekend.
An early season heatwave can often be more dangerous and pose a greater risk for heat-related illness. This will be the most significant heat so far this summer for many locations.
The most important things you can do in significant heat are to stay hydrated and interrupt your exposure to the heat by taking breaks out of the sun and/or being in cooled locations.
