| New England scorcher: High heat and humidity today and tomorrow |
|
|
|
Hot temps continue today and tomorrow. Humidity is a reliable “partner,” too, pushing the heat index (what it feels like when temperatures and humidity are combined) to the mid-90s. These are the days to scale back on strenuous outdoor activities, drink plenty of water, and seek shade and/or A/C to cool down. As we’re hearing on social media, “It’s a little early for this”. Yeah, but at least we’re not hitting the 100s. There are heat advisories in effect for parts of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Vermont from noon today to 8 p.m. Friday, with heat index values up to 99 expected. |
