This advisory signifies a major heat risk, designated as Level 3 out of 4 by the NWS. The affected areas include Orange County, home to Universal Orlando Resort and a significant portion of Walt Disney World Resort, as well as Osceola County, where the remainder of Disney World is located. Surrounding counties such as Volusia, Lake, Seminole, Okeechobee, Indian River, Saint Lucie, Martin, and Brevard are also under the advisory.
“Feels like” temperatures, or heat index values, are projected to reach approximately 108°F. Such extreme heat combined with high humidity can lead to heat-related illnesses. The NWS strongly recommends that everyone take precautions:
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.
- Seek cool environments: Remain in air-conditioned rooms or out of direct sunlight whenever possible.
- Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing if you must be outdoors.
- Limit strenuous activity: Reduce outdoor exercise and other physically demanding tasks.
Guests at the theme parks should be particularly mindful of these recommendations, as prolonged exposure to these conditions can quickly become dangerous. Stay safe and stay cool!
