With these hot temperatures, it's important for people to stay cool.
A fun option for parents looking to enjoy a nice day outside without feeling the heat too much is to head to a water park or a pool, but it's important to stay hydrated.
Ray Page a neighbor in Spanish Springs, told us, "Fruits like melons, that's great, but a good trick is to freeze them, so it's like an all-natural popsicle. It'll cool your body off and keep you hydrated."
Neighbors we spoke with said it's important to be prepared for when you plan to be outside for a long period of time.
Keeping water and snacks on you can help keep your energy up while being out in the sun, and remembering sunscreen is something many recommended.
Page said, "Well, plenty of sunscreen. Kids are really sensitive to the sun, and obviously, staying hydrated. Find shade, you know, if you can get shade, get some shade."
And checking when the peak of the heat is during the day can help prevent being out during that time.
Page also said, "So if I'm gonna have to be out in the sun, I'd prefer to do it before 12:00 noon or after 5 p.m. Between those hours is right at the peak of the sun, and it's going to be the peak of the heat."
If water parks aren't a place you can make it to, public libraries are always a good option. Kids can stay entertained with the board games and puzzles they offer, as well as the endless selection of good books, all while in an air-conditioned building.
And with this extreme heat, first responders say knowing the early signs of heat stroke is something everyone should be familiar with.
Jenny Walters the Director of Education for Remsa Health, said, "A lot of times, people wait until it's too late, until you start experiencing signs like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and those are the beginning signs of a heat-related emergency. If not treated, it can result in heatstroke, which can cause someone to go unconscious. They may be confused."
Neighbors say they remind themselves that these high temperatures are only temporary and it doesn't keep them from loving their home any less.
Page told us, "You know, grin and bear it. It's temporary. You know, the weather gets better. It’s a beautiful place that we live in, and we typically have really good weather, but right now it is hot. So stay safe."
Older adults and younger kids, like babies, are most prone to deal with heat-related emergencies due to them not being able to recognize those symptoms.
It’s important to check in with one another to help prevent it.
