Safety and Alerts

There are no active National Weather Service or NOAA weather alerts in effect for McKinney. However, the combination of high temperatures and humidity requires caution. Heat index values exceeding 100F can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke if precautions are not taken.

It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing that allows your skin to breathe.

Check on elderly neighbors or those with health conditions who may be more vulnerable to the heat. Keep vehicles parked in the shade when possible, as interior temperatures can rise rapidly. If you must be outside, seek air-conditioned spaces during breaks to cool down.

Stay aware of the signs of heat-related illness, such as dizziness, nausea, or excessive sweating, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
