Heat Advisory, Humidity Bring First Ozone Action Day of Season

22.02.74

Oakland Township and the surrounding communities are dealing with record high temperatures , a heat advisory and now the first Ozone Action day of the season.

Several days of hot, humid weather, high temperatures, little wind and little chance of rain have contributed to the high concentrations of ground-level ozone that is expected today, according to SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. 

This is also the earliest Ozone Action day called since 1999.

Temperatures are expected to soar into the upper 90s today. With a heat advisory issued until midnight tonight, heat index values will again range from the mid-90s to around 100 from late this morning into this evening, the National Weather Service said.

Temperatures in Metro Detroit hit 94 degrees at 3 p.m. Tuesday, breaking the 43-year-old record for June 7 by 1 degree, the NWS said. 

If you do have to work or otherwise spend time outside in the heat, take extra precautions such as taking frequent breaks and drinking lots of water. Try to schedule strenuous activities in the early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and call 911 if you suspect you or someone else is in trouble.
