Extreme heat is on the way, and the National Weather Service has issued Excessive Heat Warnings for the region.
Today's Trivia Tuesday question:
How high does the heat index need to be for an Excessive Heat Warning to be issued?
A. 105°F+
B. 110°F+
C. 107°F+
D. 99°F+
Answer: B. 110°F+
The heat index—or what the temperature actually feels like—must be 110°F or higher within the next 12–24 hours for an Excessive Heat Warning to be issued.
Keep in mind, the actual air temperature doesn't have to reach 110°F. If the humidity is high enough, it can make it feel like 110°F or hotter, which is what triggers the warning.
