Parts of the South and Southeast will see an extra hot summer day with high humidity. Heat Advisories continue along portions of the South Carolina and Georgia coasts, in Southwest Florida, and far southern Texas. Highs will reach well into the 90s and the heat index will climb above the century point. 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. 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 light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water. https://twitter.com/NWSCharlestonSC/status/1142976868477370369 Heat sensitive people and those who are slow to acclimate to meteorological summer will be most prone to heat illness. Dehydration and prolonged exposure or strenuous physical activity outdoors during the hottest time of the day could lead to heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke. If you have to be outside, wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and wear light colored, loose fitting clothing. https://twitter.com/NWSBrownsville/status/1143118937237991424 To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. https://twitter.com/NWSMiami/status/1143058260678840321 For WeatherNation: Meteorologist Mace Michaels
