When your body heats up too rapidly or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, you may experience a heat-related illness like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Stay Weather-Ready by learning the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses. For more information regarding heat safety visit weather.gov/heat
