heat advisory

Hot weather alert

A heat advisory is an official warning issued by weather services when high temperatures pose a risk to health, typically when the heat index is expected to reach dangerous levels for an extended period.

Less urgent than an excessive heat warning but still cautioning people to limit outdoor activity and stay hydrated: A heat advisory is in effect through Thursday evening.
