New Castle County in Delaware is included in the advisory, along with parts of southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey.\n\n&#8220;Given the intensity of this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we are not fully acclimated to it,&#8221; warns the Weather Service. This makes heat-related illnesses more likely if proper precautions aren&#8217;t taken.\n\nOfficials urge residents to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible, and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Don&#8217;t forget to check on elderly relatives and neighbors who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.\n\nRelief is coming. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to move through Wednesday afternoon and evening, bringing an end to this dangerous early-season heat wave.\n\nThe Heat Advisory expires at 8 PM Wednesday. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and cooling center information throughout this heat event.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Heat Advisory is in effect for northern
