WESLACO – As temperatures approach the hundreds, residents are advised to watch out for signs of heat exhaustion.
Weslaco resident Alejandro Corona walks at the Mayor Pablo Pena Park every day; he says the heat is making his daily walk harder.
“We are sweating all over the place. You know like big time,” says Corona.
