Weather officials recommend you drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles, under any circumstances.

"Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures. Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors," the National Weather Service adds.

If you have to work outside, the National Weather Service suggests you take many rest breaks in the shade or the A-C to help avoid heat stroke.

"Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 911," National Weather Service adds.
