CONCORD — State and non-profit health officials are recommending steps to beat the heat that has hit the state this week.

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, the National Weather Service, the American Red Cross and power companies all issued news releases about the heat wave that is seeing temperatures climb into the 90s and even reaching 100 degrees in some parts of the Granite State. The weather service says this is the hottest stretch in recent years.
