Heat Advisory issued July 20 at 10:38AM AST until July 20 at 5:00PM AST by NWS San Juan PR
* WHAT...This level of heat affects most individuals sensitive to
heat, especially those without effective cooling and/or adequate
hydration.
* WHERE...Portions of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.
* WHEN...Until 5 PM AST this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat
illnesses.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Recent observations indicate that the region
is experiencing hot conditions, characterized by warmer-than-normal
early-morning temperatures and rapidly rising afternoon highs. The
leftover moisture from yesterday's tropical wave, along with these
elevated temperatures, has led to the issuance of a Heat Advisory
for coastal and urban areas.
Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning
or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke.
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.
