An Extreme Heat Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey, covering the area through the Fourth of July holiday.
The warning took effect in the early morning hours of July 3rd at 3:19 AM EDT and is set to expire on July 4th at 8:00 PM EDT, meaning dangerous heat conditions are expected throughout the holiday period.
Extreme Heat Warnings are issued when dangerously hot conditions pose a significant risk to public health. Officials typically advise residents to stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces, drink plenty of water, check on elderly neighbors and relatives, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest parts of the day.
Anyone experiencing symptoms of heat-related illness, such as heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, or confusion, should seek medical attention immediately.
