New York County
Heat Advisory:
Issued at: 10:30 AM EDT 7/19/05, expires at: 11:00 PM EDT 7/19/05
Heat advisory remains in effect until 6 pm edt this evening
After an uncomfortable night with high humidity and temperatures no lower than the upper 70s, temperatures this afternoon will reach the 90 to 95 range. The combination of heat and humidity will yield afternoon heat index values between 100 and 105 degrees, and so the national weather service has issued a heat advisory for New York City.
Children, the elderly, and people with chronic ailments are usually the first to suffer from the heat. Heat exhaustion, cramps, or in extreme cases heat stroke, can result from prolonged exposure to these conditions. Friends, relatives, or neighbors should check on people who may be at risk.
To beat the heat, drink plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages, wear light colored lightweight clothes, and if possible, spend more time in air conditioned or well ventilated places. New York City residents should call 3-1-1 to obtain additional "beat the heat" safety tips.
