An Air Quality Alert has been issued for Sunday for Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Preble counties by the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission and the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency.
Levels of air pollution within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. It is recommended to carpool, bike, walk or take the bus instead of driving alone, refuel your vehicle after 8 p.m., do not idle your vehicle as exhaust contributes to air pollution and mow your lawn in the evening hours/avoid the use of gas-powered lawn equipment.
The combination of heat and humidity will result in afternoon heat index values in the mid-90s to around 100 degrees on Monday and again on Wednesday through Friday, the NWS said.
There will be no escape from heat this week if you are outside, with high temperatures above 90 each day. Those engaging in outdoor activities will need to stay hydrated and move to the shade or air conditioning if necessary. pic.twitter.com/J15IU5uBVa
