Around 5:30 a.m. this morning I went outside to check
on my tomato, peppers, squash plants and flowers.
The sun was coming up, the birds were singing,
and the air was really warm. I checked the outside
temperature. It was already 77 degrees!
A hot spell of weather continues to hold southern New Jersey
in a tenacious grip this week, with daytime temperatures
soaring into the mid-to-upper 90's all week.
According to an emergency alert I received via e-mail
earlier this morning, the heat index will be hovering
around 105 degrees today. As I sit here writing this post,
the current temperature is 87 degrees with sunny skies.
The humidity is an oppressive 67%.
People especially affected by extreme heat like this are infants, young
children, and the elderly, as well as anyone with significant health issues.
Those with heart and respiratory ailments should stay indoors as much
as possible and keep cool. It is also extremely important to keep
your body hydronated by drinking lots of water.
🌞Please be smart and stay safe, everyone!🌞
