Health Experts Warn of Growing Heat Illnesses in Warming New Jersey Climate

Certainly not an issue now as shoulder season is upon us but as climate change intensifies in New Jersey, health experts are raising concerns about rising heat-related illnesses. During a state-hosted webinar, medical professionals outlined the risks, from heat cramps to life-threatening heat stroke, which can occur within minutes during extreme heat. Children, seniors, outdoor workers, and those with pre-existing conditions are especially vulnerable. Experts warn that heat-related deaths will likely rise as New Jersey experiences longer and more frequent periods of high temperatures. Resources for managing extreme heat are available on the state’s Heat Hub New Jersey website.
