heat wave advice script

"Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend. As you may remember, in every summer temperatures are starting to climb—and that’s something we’re seeing across a huge chunk of the eastern U.S. Most of the region is dealing with very warm conditions." Avatar 1: "First up: Dangerous heat builds over the eastern U.S. This started over the last couple of days but really intensified yesterday—and it’s going to get worse over the next few days." Avatar 2: "That’s right. We’re going to talk about heat safety, the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and some critical reminders as we navigate this heat and humidity. Plus, we’ll answer two big questions: How long could this heat last? And Is there any relief in sight?" Avatar 1 : "This is serious, folks. You’ll want to stay hydrated—keep drinking water—and whenever possible, find air conditioning. If you don’t have AC at home, try a public space like a library or cooling station. And if no AC is available, at least use a fan to help during peak heat hours." Avatar 1: "Now, let’s talk health risks. Dehydration is more common in heat because our bodies sweat more to cool down. Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and dark-colored urine. Worse, dehydration can lead to heat stroke, where your body can’t cool off fast enough—and that can be fatal." Avatar 2: "Here’s the key: Limit outdoor activities between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., drink water regularly, and avoid alcohol or sugary drinks. Some medications or health conditions make it harder to regulate body temperature, so check on loved ones who might be at risk." Avatar 1: "Switching gears—never leave children or pets in a parked car. In just 30 minutes, interior temps can hit 120°F–125°F, and after an hour, it could reach 140°F. That’s deadly heat." Avatar 2: "And a quick note: Plastic water bottles, medications, electronics—even sunscreen—can lose effectiveness or get damaged in hot cars. So always look before you lock!" Avatar 1: "Finally, let’s talk long-term. This heat isn’t going away soon. Extended forecasts show above-average temps for much of the eastern U.S. through early July." Avatar 2: *"Stay safe out there! Remember: Hydrate, take breaks, and check on neighbors—especially the elderly. Thanks for joining us, and we’ll see you next time on egreenews!"*
