…EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO
8 PM PDT THIS EVENING…
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SAN DIEGO HAS ISSUED AN EXCESSIVE
HEAT WARNING…WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 8 PM
PDT THIS EVENING. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IS NO LONGER IN
EFFECT.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHWEST WILL BRING HOT WEATHER
TODAY WITH HEAT INDEXES NEAR 110 IN THE VALLEYS AND LOWER
MOUNTAIN SLOPES…AND NEAR 120 IN THE DESERTS. THE HEAT INDEX
COMBINES THE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE. THE
HIGHER THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE AIR…THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS
FOR THE BODY TO KEEP COOL BECAUSE IT SLOWS DOWN THE EVAPORATION OF
PERSPIRATION…WHICH IS THE BODYS NATURAL COOLER.
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. THE COMBINATION OF HOT
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A
DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE LIKELY. DRINK
PLENTY OF FLUIDS…STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM…STAY OUT OF
THE SUN… AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
