The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Heat Advisory which is now in effect until 8 pm tonight.
The weather today, will “seem” like the hottest day of the summer so far for all of this area thanks to not only a surge of heat, but also excessive humidity. It will certainly feel much hotter than the actual temperature.
Thick tropical humidity combined with actual high temperatures in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees will make it much worse than the weather during the heat wave earlier in July that occurred with a “lack” of high humidity.
The “Saturday Super Scorcher” will produce AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures of 100 to 110, and perhaps 115 degrees for a several-hour period during the afternoon hours on Saturday in many locations.
It appears that near 100-degree RealFeel® temperatures will be experienced over much of central and southern New England as well.
The RealFeel® temperature factors in not only actual temperature and humidity, but also other parameters including sunshine intensity and wind.
