A high of 92 is forecast for today but the weather service said a combination of high humidity and temperatures will cause the heat index values to reach between 100 and 104. The heat index, sometimes referred to as the apparent temperature, is given in degrees Fahrenheit and measures how hot it really feels like when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature.

Residents are told to avoid unnecessary activity during the heat of the day.
