The National Weather Service is forecasting dangerous hot and humid conditions on Wednesday, July 15.<\/p>\n
Highs are expected to be in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees, a statement posted Monday morning on weather.gov said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaximum heat indices will range from 100-108\u00b0,\u201d the advisory stated. \u201cWhile the extreme heat is only expected to last one day, it will remain hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s Tuesday through at least Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Examples of forecasted high temperatures include 98 in Allentown and Philadelphia and 99 in Reading and Trenton, N.J.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbove normal temperatures take over by Tuesday, likely continuing toward the end of the week. Wednesday will be the hottest day of the stretch, and an Extreme Heat Watch was issued for the Philadelphia metro,\u201d wrote Erich Hoeflich, a meteorologist with the NWS\u2019s Mount Holly, N.J., regional office, which covers southeastern Pennsylvania, Monday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe heat peaks on Wednesday over the area as temperatures should get well into the 90s with increasing humidity,\u201d Hoeflich wrote in the Monday morning area forecast discussion for the region. \u201cIt\u2019s not out of the question PHL and a few other sites tag the century mark again, but nothing like we saw to start July.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe heat starts to build tomorrow, will peak Wednesday and continue Thursday,\u201d Dan Pydynowski, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, said Monday morning of the heat wave. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to be quite as long and quite as intense as the one earlier this month.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coping with the heat<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have to be outside, take as many breaks as possible, where light-colored clothing and stay hydrated,\u201d Pydynowski said.<\/p>\n
He suggested remaining inside an air-conditioned space during the peak heat hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., if possible.<\/p>\n
