Virginia Tech Emergency Management

The forecast is in, Hokies… and it’s a hot one.🥵

Extreme heat is expected through Saturday, with near-record high temperatures each day. Overnight temperatures will also remain unusually warm through Sunday morning. ☀️

Keep in mind that prolonged extreme heat can also increase the risk of power outages, which could impact access to air conditioning. Have a plan to stay cool if your power goes out. 🪭

Stay hydrated! Drink water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Taking breaks in air-conditioned spaces or the shade can also help prevent heat-related illness. 💧

Beat the heat. 💪🌡️
