Preparation for Outdoor Fun
It’s a day championing all outdoor activities—biking, hiking, or even just a casual stroll in the park. Just don’t forget that the UV index is moderate. If you plan to be outdoors for a while, a little sunscreen will go a long way in keeping your skin happy!
Another positive note: the pollen count is low today, making it a great day for allergy sufferers to bask in the sun without worrying too much about sniffles. And if you’re concerned about air quality, it’s looking good with no significant pollutants detected in the area.
Keeping Hydrated and Safe
As that heat index rises alongside the temperature, you’ll want to stay hydrated if you’re out enjoying the sun. It’s worth mentioning that although we’re not facing any weather-related advisories, heightened wildlife activity may occur with such warm temperatures—so keep your eyes peeled while driving!
