PLYMOUTH (WWJ) - Due to the Excessive Heat Warning issued by the National Weather Service, all City of Plymouth recreation T-Ball games scheduled for Wednesday have been cancelled.
The combination of high heat and humidity will cause heat index values to climb to around 100 degrees Wednesday and between 105 and 110 degrees on Thursday.

Whether in a hot vehicle or a home without proper cooling, heat stroke occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature and may result in an individual's body temperature reaching 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Children's bodies overheat easily, and infants and children under four years of age, also at risk are the elderly, especially those with medical conditions.
