Near record heat is forecast for most of South Florida today,
especially across the east coast metro. Temperatures are forecast
to reach the lower to mid 90s by this afternoon, with heat index
in the upper 90s to near 100. These temperatures could lead to
heat illness or heat stroke for people outdoors for prolonged
periods without adequate cooling, hydration, or attire could be
dangerous. If you are planning on being outdoors for extended
periods of time, make sure to stay hydrated, wear loose fitted
clothing, and take frequent breaks in shade or indoors.
Vulnerable populations may be especially vulnerable to heat as age
and certain conditions impact the body's ability to regulate
temperature. With near record heat and ample sunshine,
temperatures will quickly soar in enclosed spaces without air
conditioning. Never leave pets or children in parked cars
unattended, always look before you lock!
