The National Weather Service has joined together with other local and state agencies to promote Missouri and Kansas Summer Weather Safety Week 2018: Excessive Heat and Lightning. This year’s Summer Weather Safety Week starts on Monday, June 18th and runs through Sunday, June 24th.
Excessive heat and lightning are among the top weather dangers during the summer throughout the United States. Being aware of these dangerous weather conditions is the first step in protecting the lives of yourself and those around you.
