BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — It’s a great day to socially distance from other people — the heat index in Palm Beach County is going to hit 109.
Here’s the advisory from the National Weather Service.
…HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 105 AND 109 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED
TODAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA…
The combination of hot temperatures and high dewpoints will
produce heat indices at or above 105 degrees today, especially
across the east coast metro and interior sections of South
Florida. Residents with outdoor activities planned are urged to
drink plenty of water, wear light weight and light colored
clothing, and take frequent breaks from the heat. Young children
and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any
circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather
when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of
minutes.
