MACON, Ga. — As the intense humidity persists, temperatures are once again expected to reach extreme levels. The National Weather Service has issued yet another Heat Advisory, making it our fifth advisory in the last 7 days. The advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 PM today. Heat index values are expected to reach as high as 106 degrees, but some places locally have the chance to reach the upper 100s just like yesterday.
Relief is in store for Wednesday, as a frontal boundary attached to now Tropical Depression Beryl will push through and bring in slightly drier air behind. This will hopefully keep us feeling below the triple digits for a few days.
Staying indoors as much as possible with air conditioning is an important way to stay safe. When outside, it is important to remember to stay hydrated and to take frequent breaks in the shade. Do not leave any pets or children unattended within a vehicle, as it may reach dangerous levels within minutes. It is encouraged to check on your neighbors and relatives.
