Memphis weather is always hot and humid. But right now as we enter August, this is especially true.
Now, this isn’t something I need to remind locals of. We all understand just how intense this heat can get.
But always remember that in this kind of heat, it’s important to look out for the dangers and risks that come along with it.
If you have pets, make sure that they are well taken care of. Please don’t leave them anywhere, especially outside, without water or shade.
But it isn’t just our pets who are affected. Be on the lookout for the safety of everyone around you. Whether it’s your friends, family, or neighbors, please check on the people around you to make sure that they are staying cool and safe.
Also, be especially mindful of the safety of the elderly. Heat can be extremely dangerous for everyone, but especially for anyone who might already be in frail health.

Have fun, stay hydrated, and be safe this summer.

The good news is that heat relief centers will be opening soon in our areas. These centers will be air conditioned and provide backup in case of electrical outages or other emergencies.
Providing water to your neighbors, the elderly, and also staying hydrated yourself is incredibly important.
We’ll be checking in with our past and current clients throughout this hot time of year.
Finally, be very careful if you play sports. Getting out to the ballfield is fun but can be dangerous in this heat.
Have fun, stay hydrated, and be safe this summer.
