Berkshires Brace To Beat The Heat; The First Heatwave Of The Year Is Here

After an abysmal Memorial Day Weekend in terms of the weather...fans of the heat are in luck as the year's first heatwave arrives on Saturday.

Through Wednesday of next week, temperatures are supposed to reach the mid to upper 80's and possibly touch 90.

I have yet to put in my AC, but now it's a must!

I had a conversation with John Perrault about the heat and your pet, what not to do!

Keep the blinds and the windows closed when the sun is out, keep hydrated, use your fans properly, don't use the oven or dishwasher, wear sunscreen and use aloe vera, and everything should be fine!
