Yes, it gets hot in our part of the world. But the relentless heat wave set high temperature records day after day after day; Redding did not get a high temp UNDER 110 for more than a week. It won't let up for a few days more, and it's likely not the only heat spike of the summer.
You may be battled-hardened by the heat at this point, but we can always get more ideas on coping with the hot weather. American Red Cross is familiar with good ways to cope with high temperatures... we bring in Rebecca Marshall from the Red Cross Cascades Region to share some of the ways with us.
