Excessive Heat OutlookAntigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services10:00 pm Sunday 01 September 2024
…Potential Excessive Heat Event for Antigua and Barbuda 10:00 am to 4:00 pm from Thursday 5 to Saturday 7 September…
The winds are forecast to drop to light speeds from Thursday to Saturday. This will likely allow for the combination of heat and humidity to cause the heat index or feels-like temperature to be at medium risk.
An excessive heat outlook is issued when the potential exists for an excessive heat event – a heat index of 38 °C (100 °F) or higher and the mean wind speed is usually 18 km/h (11 mph) or less, in the next 3-7 days.
In this case, the heat index has the potential to rise to more than 41 °C (106 °F), in some areas, starting this Thursday. An excessive heat watch may be required.
This level of heat puts everyone at risk for heat illnesses; however, the risks are greatest for the elderly, young children, people with chronic illnesses such as breathing difficulties, heartconditions or psychiatric illnesses, people who work or who exercise in the heat, homeless people and low-income earners.
