Heat Advisory Today

July 23, 2010

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for today.

Strong high pressure over much of the central Gulf Coast region will give way to another round of hot weather resulting in heat indices ranging from 108 to 110 degrees for many areas including areas near the coast. This may create dangerous conditions for people working outdoors or those more susceptible to heat related health problems.

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. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
