Outbreak
Florida, United States
South Florida is under a heat advisory from noon until 7 p.m. Friday, the first time the National Weather Service in Miami is using a new lower threshold that forecasters and Miami-Dade officials approved in May. Wednesday’s high will be near 90 degrees, but the heat index is expected to reach 105 to 108 degrees.The weather service extended the initial advisory from Wednesday evening out to Friday given the stretch of hot days ahead. If you live in Southeast Florida and portions of Southwest Florida, such as Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach counties, and Fort Myers, Immokalee, Naples, Everglades City and Arcadia, you’re in the advisory zone where the heat index will be at least 105 and could go up to 108 degrees.
The heat index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature, according to the weather service. This is how hot it “feels like” on your skin on steamy days. The weather service will initiate alert procedures when the heat index is expected to exceed 105 to 110 degrees depending on local climate for at least two consecutive days.
