Cooling centers available to beat the heat and humidity

There are several locations available to cool off across mid-Missouri as dangerously hot temperatures are expected Monday.

The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory with temperatures forecasted to feel like 105 to 110 degrees.

Excessive heat can cause a variety of health issues including dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Symptoms to watch out for include nausea, vomiting, headaches and muscle cramps.

Heat exhaustion can turn into heatstroke if your body fails to regulate its own temperature, which can be fatal. Health professionals say to call 911 if your body is not producing sweat.
