Barren County will be under a heat advisory most of today, according to the Louisville office of the National Weather Service.
The advisory begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until 7 p.m. with heat index values expected to be up to 108 degrees, the service states.
“Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses,” the service states. “Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.”
Feeling sick and/or being sick, tiredness, dizziness, headache, excessive sweating, pale skin, cramps and a heat rash are some of the signs of heat exhaustion, according to the National Health Service. Some symptoms of a heat stroke include a high body temperature, flushed skin, headaches, rapid breathing and changes in mental state or behavior, the Mayo Clinic states.
