Hitte alarm

Amerikanen overdrijven graag maar de hitte tijdens dit weekend en de komende dagen zou inderdaad uitzonderlijk zijn.
Op de weerzenders wordt permenent omgeroepen dat je in gebouwen met airco moet blijven, goed moet drinken, geen vermoeiende aktiviteiten mag ondernemen.
Aan bejaarden worden ventilatoren bezorgd door de stadsdiensten.
Ze verwachten morgen temperaturen van meer dan 100 gr Fahrenheit.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST THROUGH EARLY WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUED PERIOD OF MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL WEATHER.

TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE... AND TO AROUND 100 DEGREES ELSEWHERE ON MONDAY.

THESE TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE WITH MODERATE HUMIDITY LEVELS TO PRODUCE HEAT INDICES BETWEEN 105 AND 109 MONDAY AFTERNOON.

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 NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS... STAY IN AN AIR- CONDITIONED BUILDING... AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT... AND CHECK ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. PROVIDE SHELTER AND FRESH WATER FOR PETS.
