dogThe summer heat will be cranking up again in the Twin Cities area this next week. With another 7-10 days starting tomorrow forecasted in the high nineties, the Twin Cities United Way wants to get the word out that assistance is just a phone call away.

For tips on how to deal with the heat, residents of the Twin Cities Metro can DIAL 211 on a landline to be connected with the First Call for Help information line.

Operators are trained and ready to answer callers' questions on where to go to escape the heat, what are the symptoms of heat stroke and tips on the best ways to cool off. Stay cool and stay safe in the heat!

Susie--Yes it  is warm in MN in the summer. The last week in July and early August we have very warm temperatures. It is hot and very muggy with dewpoints usually in the 60-70%...More like FL than AZ. People think of MN as being extremely cold but we only have a few days a year with extremely cold temps....In the Twin Cities our climate is very similar to the northern east coast.

Steve--So it is a myth that since Denver is so close to the mountains you are always cool? Many think that since MN borders Canada, we are walking in snowsuits year-round! Stay cool!

AH, I think by 3pm today I will be wishing that was true.  We had one cooler day this past week (89 I think) and the rest have been high 90's and close to 100.  Today's predicted high is 98.

Steve--It is just the start of our heatwave...Low 90s but high humidity so it will be sticky. The high 90's are predicted for the end of the week. I have two opens today...Glad for the nice weather but hope the heat doesn't keep people away! :)

Good luck on the open houses.  We don't have the humidity so you've got us on that one.

I guess the humidity can make the 90 degree unbearable because 90 degree for our summers (CA) is very usual.

Thesa--It is moving in from the west...Glad you are having some relief. Our dog is an indoor dog especially in the heat and doesn't do car rides (sheds too much)!

Leah--Thanks! It will be a rough couple of days here for those with alergies as the heat and humidity traps the pollutants so air quality will be very poor.
