Mid-Missouri heat advisory through tomorrow, Monday at 8 p.m.

Dangerous hot weather outside, but that did not keep people indoors today.

According to our ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather team, there was a heat index high of 101 degrees today.

ABC 17 checked in with both the Boone County Hospital and the University of Missouri Hospital and they both said that they have seen a handful of patients with heat-related illnesses.

Soccer player, David Moore just finished a game when we talked to him, and although he said he was okay, he had teammates who had to take a time-out.

“A couple of guys were like ‘hey, I need a sub,’ cause hot, light-headed, that kind of thing,” said Moore.

Luckily, Moore said no one needed medical attention.

But according to Gale Blomenkamp, these are signs of heat exhaustion.

“If you have issues with nausea, vomiting, light-headedness, you should probably seek medical attention, immediately,” said Blomenkamp.

He said another heat-related problem can be a heat stroke, which can be deadly.

“It’s where your body temperature reaches over a 104 degrees, it’s when you stop sweating,” said Blomenkamp.

Then, your body is not able to cool itself down, which can cause shock, organ failure, and brain damage.
