It is typically the middle of August when temperatures reach the hottest. In San Antonio, meteorologist, Ryan Shada has a few tips on beating the heat. Here's a look at some of the forecast highs later this week. The additional numbers you see represent each day's record, which some of them were set back in the early 19 hundreds. Now, with drier air moving in, this will push air temperatures upward to around 103 to 106 later this week, which is heat. We're not used to even during the summer when comparing weather events, heat is the leading weather related cause for death more than floods, hurricanes and tornado on average every year. Um, heat kills almost about double the amount of people uh like for floods and, and then in tornadoes and hurricanes, the obvious tips are staying hydrated, finding shade, taking breaks and checking on your neighbors when you can. But if you're inside take advantage of your fans, so you don't have to crank up the ac so much during the day and make sure the air is circulating around the house, especially if it gets really, really hot in your house because you don't have air conditioning, make sure the fans necessarily aren't blowing on you because actually having air directly blowing on you when it's that hot can actually dehydrate you even more. So make sure the fan is on, but just make sure the fan is in another part of the room where you just get good air circulation, take advantage of your ceiling fans. So you're not frequently using the thermostat throughout the day, use exterior window shades or shutters to keep the window glass from transmitting additional heat. If that's not an option, curtains and blinds are a good alternative. Also make sure you don't have lamps or TV sets near your thermostat. Research shows that the additional heat can make the AC run longer than necessary. Also check if your fan is spinning counterclockwise, this direction of spin helps create a down draft of air and a cooling effect in each room of the home.
