The Pennsylvania Department of Health is reminding residents to take precautions during hot weather.
The department recommends drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol during periods of high temperatures. Residents are also encouraged to stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible and limit the amount of time spent outdoors.
People should wear light, loose-fitting clothing and check on older family members and others who may be affected by the heat.
The department also reminds residents never to leave children or pets inside a vehicle.
