Findlay and Hancock County are included in a Heat Advisory issued by the National Weather Service.

The Heat Advisory goes through Tuesday night.

Dangerously hot conditions are occurring with heat index values above 100.

Health officials point out that consecutive days of excessive heat and humidity combined with little relief overnight due to very warm low temperatures can be especially hazardous.

People are advised to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Putnam County and other counties to the west are under an Extreme Heat Warning. 

The hot conditions will likely continue into Wednesday and beyond.
