MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesotans are more likely to suffer heat-related illness at a lower heat index than people in warmer climates.
The heat index could top 100 degrees Monday in parts of the state. U of M Professor and Doctor Laalitha Surapaneni says 86 degrees is hot enough to affect upper Midwest residents, especially those with underlying health conditions because they have a harder time regulating their body heat.
Symptoms of heat stroke include light-headedness, hot dry skin, fever, vomiting, and confusion.
