An extreme heat watch is in effect for Monrovia, and we want everyone to stay safe this week.

A few reminders to keep get you through the heat:

☀ Avoid the sun: Stay indoors when you can, cut back on outdoor physical activity, and if you do head out - wear light clothing, sunglasses, and be sure to apply sunscreen.

🤝 Check on those at higher risk: Elderly neighbors, people without air conditioning, infants and young children, and anyone working or exercising outdoors face the highest risk of heat-related illness. A quick check-in to your family, friends, and neighbors could make a difference.

💧Stay hydrated: Drink water and even electrolytes throughout the day, even before you feel thirsty, and replenish salt and minerals if you're sweating a lot.

❄ Stay cool indoors: If you don't have air conditioning, Monrovia's Community Center and Public Library are open and air-conditioned for anyone needing a break from the heat!
