๐ค๏ธ Mid-Mo Ambulance District Weather & Safety Update ๐ค๏ธ
Residents of Moniteau and Morgan Counties, weโre seeing typical summer conditions across central Missouri with hot temperatures, abundant sunshine, and heat index values approaching or exceeding 100ยฐF over the next several days. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms remain possible, so stay weather-aware if youโre spending time outdoors.
Here are a few simple ways to stay safe:
โ๏ธ Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout the day, even if you donโt feel thirsty.
๐ Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle. Interior temperatures can become life-threatening within minutes.
๐ต Check on family, neighbors, and older adults who may be more vulnerable to heat-related illness.
๐ Limit strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, typically between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
๐ฉ๏ธ If thunderstorms develop, head indoors immediately. Remember: When thunder roars, go indoors.
๐ Use extra caution on area roadways. Increased summer travel, farm equipment, motorcycles, and recreational traffic mean everyone should slow down, stay alert, and avoid distracted driving.
๐ Know the signs of heat illness: dizziness, confusion, nausea, excessive sweating, or hot, dry skin. If someone is experiencing severe symptoms or becomes unresponsive, call 911 immediately.
Your Mid-Mo Ambulance District crews are on duty 24 hours a day, ready to respond whenever you need us.
Stay safe, stay cool, and have a great day, Moniteau and Morgan Counties! ๐โค๏ธ
