heat advisory in effect until 6 pm edt this evening
The NWS in gray has issued a heat advisory, which is in effect until 6 pm edt this evening.
Temperatures will rise into the 90s across most of Maine and new hampshire this afternoon, with moderate to high humidity levels helping to raise heat index values to near 100 degrees. A sea breeze will likely cool temperatures down a bit near the coast this afternoon, but inland locations will continue to see temperatures rise into the mid to upper 90s this afternoon. The high heat and humidity combined with the long duration of the current heat wave will make conditions uncomfortable and potentially dangerous especially in hot buildings without air conditioning or proper ventilation.
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.
PS: chiaramente nell'email riportata qui sopra si parla di gradi Fahrenheit, non Celsius!!! (90F=32C; 100F=38C)
