Heat advisory today: 105-110 with humidity
Heat advisory in effect from 11 am this morning to 7 PM EDT
this evening…
The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a heat
advisory… which is in effect from 11 am this morning to 7 PM EDT
this evening.
A hot dome of high pressure will move south and be overhead
Mainland South Florida this afternoon. This will lead to very hot
temperatures in the upper 90s to around 100 this afternoon. Heat
index readings… or how it actually feels to your body when
factoring in the high humidity… will reach 105 to 110 degrees
this afternoon.
Precautionary/preparedness actions…
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Heat exhaustion and heat cramps become likely as heat
indices reach 105 degrees or higher… and heat stroke is possible
with prolonged exposure or physical activity. It is advised to
limit outdoor activities this afternoon. Drink plenty of
fluids… stay in an air-conditioned room… stay out of the
sun… and check up on relatives and neighbors.
