The National Weather Service predicts temperatures will rise to 35 to 40 degrees Celsius over the weekend, with plenty of sunshine and light winds.

These conditions are favorable for the formation of ground-level ozone, explained the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission.

The general public is not expected to be affected and most people can exercise outdoors but should take more breaks and engage in less strenuous activities, advises the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission.
