DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — An unprecedented heat index is in the forecast for today, Monday, as the heat wave broiling South Florida continues. The “real feel” temperature today may hit 112. That’s again led the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory, which are publishing here:

- WHAT… Heat index values of 107 to 112 possible.
- WHERE… Portions of southeast, southern and southwest Florida.
- WHEN… From 10 AM this morning to 6 PM EDT this evening.
- IMPACTS… Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses to occur.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.
Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.
In case of heat illness, call Ron DeSantis. He forbade local governments to mandate common-sense protections from excessive heat.
Following the lead of Abbott in Texas. Shame on both of them..
