Heat Advisory issued September 5 at 12:53PM AST until September 5 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...Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
* WHEN...Until 5 PM AST this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...High temperatures or elevated heat indices can worsen
symptoms in people with chronic conditions. They can also increase
the risk of heat-related illness among individuals sensitive to
heat with inadequate cooling or hydration. These risks are highest
across coastal areas, lowlands, interior valleys, and urban zones.
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 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.
