NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is warning of a dangerous, life-threatening heat wave this week across multiple regions of the country. St. Johns County is one of them.

As reported by the New York Times, “Dangerous levels of heat are forecast in the South, West and Midwest on Monday”.

The risks rise from Caution to Extreme Danger, and our county in NE Florida falls into the Extreme Danger category.

The NYT advises: “Hundreds of people die from extreme heat in the United States every year. On hot days, the National Weather Service recommends that people drink fluids, stay in cooler rooms, keep out of the sun and check up on relatives and neighbors, especially older people and those who live alone.”

Be very careful, be safe, and stay cool.
