Yumans try to beat the heat
News 11 s Adonis Albright speaks with locals and visitors to see how they re cooling down
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - It s starting to feel a lot like summer in the Desert Southwest, with an excessive heat warning that will remain in effect for Yuma and Imperial County through the weekend, bringing with it potentially record-breaking triple digit temperatures.
Whether you re making a splash in the water at the Colorado river, or soaking in the sunshine out in town, locals are feeling the heat one way or another.
“It’s a dry heat, the humidity just makes you sweat, sticky and yucky. This is a dry heat so yes it’s hot, but you don’t have the sticky humidity , said one woman who recently moved to Yuma and was with family visiting from Michigan.
