Even though we may already be aware of the summer-like temps, today is Iowa Heat Awareness Day. Warning Coordinator Meteorologist Kelsey Angle says the guy to keeping safe in the hot, muggy weather is being aware; aware of the weather and aware of what your body is telling you.

Just last year, there were 42 children who died from heatstroke on vehicles in the U.S.  SO far this year, there have been 7. Don’t leaver your kids or pets locked up in a car where the temps quickly rise above 100 degrees, when it is only 80 degrees outside.
