Weather service extends heat advisories in Florida. When and where they’re in effect
Heat advisories are now coming in multipacks.
Starting last month, the National Weather Service in Miami issued heat advisories on a day-to-day basis.
That changed in July, when an omnipresent heatwave in South Florida has led to 10 consecutive days of heat advisories and a routine “feels-like” temperature of more than 100.
When is the head advisory in effect?
The weather service’s latest heat advisory has been extended through 8 p.m. Sunday in parts of Florida.
The heat index could hit 110. The previous advisory earlier in the day was through Thursday.
The heat index is a mix of air temperature — and we can expect highs in the mid-90s into the weekend — and humidity. Saharan dust plumes can also prolong the heat and more is expected into the weekend.
Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but these groups are more vulnerable than most. Ensure that your loved ones and neighbors are safe from the heat and remain #WeatherReady. https://t.co/em4Ggnzjxq pic.twitter.com/i3oomzBX6L
