This will be the hottest weekend of the summer so far, with highs today and tomorrow from 92 to 97 over Alabama. It looks like 93 or 94 in BHM both days.
The big problem is the humidity. Your body can not efficiently evaporate sweat, so it feels hotter and you have more sweat on you. The heat index, combining temperature and humidity, could climb to 105 degrees this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon in some places.
Please take normal heat precautions. Drink plenty of water (even if you are indoors, but especially if you do any work outside), wear lightweight, loose fitting clothing, stay out of the sun, avoid caffeine.
If you start to feel sick, don’t hesitate to go in air conditioning, and if necessary go to the doctor!
