It’s Missouri Summer Safety Day today. It’s a great time to remember hot weather safety! During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. When your body heats too rapidly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, you may experience a heat-related illness. Stay Weather-Ready by learning the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses. weather.gov/safety/heat-illness
