A heat advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. again today to 7 p.m. for the entire state of Florida — some of the state will also be under an extreme heat advisory.

Dangerous heat is expected this afternoon, with heat index values up to 112 degrees. Actual air temperatures will be in the mid to upper 90s, but it will feel significantly hotter.

If you plan to be outdoors it is important to drink at least 16 to 32 ounces of water, if you have AC use it — fans may not be adequate, reduce outdoor physical activities and wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.

Also cautioned

Inland portions of South Florida face elevated fire risk conditions again today.

High pressure and mostly sunny skies will lead to hot conditions continuing through the first half of the week, with heat index values climbing above 110 across all of west central and Southwest Florida today.
