HEAT ADVISORY
JaredSiri/staff
South Georgia is HOT. This is something you either already know
or you are just finding out. The humidity is higher here than in other
areas of the country.
The heat index, which reflects the combination of air temperature
and relative humidity, determines how hot the weather actually
feels.
Recently, a heat advisory warned people to stay out of the sun if
possible. Extended time in this weather can lead to heat exhaustion,
which can be fatal if not properly treated.
Stay hydrated.
Wear loose and light colored clothing.
Wear a hat.
