Sweltering heat to linger in Salt Lake City through weekend

The summer heat is expected to simmer down slightly this weekend after highs lingered in the grueling triple-digits last week. But it’ll still be warm.

The high on Friday is currently forecast at 98 degrees, followed by 100 degrees on Saturday and 99 degrees on Sunday.

Those temperatures are typical for mid-July in Salt Lake City, according to the National Weather Service. Still, heat is dangerous — and deadly.

Officials advise people to drink lots of water; avoid strenuous outdoor exercise midday; seek out air-conditioning; check in on your friends, family and neighbors; keep an eye out for symptoms of heat exhaustion; and never leave children or pets in a vehicle.
