Florida will experience another day of stifling heat this Wednesday, while going through ahello of heat historic, which this Tuesday managed to break the record for maximum temperature in Miami.

“Another day of sweltering heat is forecast for our area with heat indices ranging between 105°F and 110°F across South Florida this afternoon,” the NWS Twitter account said. in Miami.

This Tuesday, July 11, NWS confirmed that the maximum temperature record in Miami, reached in 2010, had been broken. With 96 degrees Fahrenheit (about 36 degrees Celsius),Miami was experiencing a historic day, which left behind the previous record of 95F.

For today, NWS warns of the possibility of scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, mainly for interior areas. “Temperatures are expected to return to around 90 – 95F,” the weather service warned.

“Avoid physical exertion and stay hydrated if you work outdoors; and always remember not to leave anyone inside a hot car,” the NWS recommended.

During the current heat wave,an 18-month-old baby died of hyperthermia after spending about eight hours forgotten by her parents inside a car parked outdoors at their home in central Florida.

The worst thing about a heat wave is the unbearable feeling of being in a burning bubble that ends up creating exhaustion, dizziness, vomiting, breathing difficulties and even fever.

A recommendation for people who faint somewhere is not to give them water immediately, but rather to place cold compresses on them while waiting for help from rescue teams.

For an environment full of humidity, the feeling of suffocation increases in open spaces and many people run to take refuge in air-conditioned public facilities and commercial establishments.
