NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — An extreme heat warning is in effect Monday, July 28 across parts of Southeast Louisiana- including all of New Orleans- from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Heat index values could reach as high as 114 degrees for these locations surrounding the lake.
Other surrounding areas, and coastal communities are under a heat advisory where heat index values could reach 108 degrees or more. With surface high pressure to our west – this will suppress any relief in the form of an afternoon shower.
Extreme heat poses serious threats such as heat exhaustion, dehydration, and heat stroke. Be safe out there.
Please:
- Limit outdoor activities, especially during midday.
- Stay hydrated and favor cool, shaded or air‑conditioned spaces.
- Check on loved ones like infants, seniors, and those with health vulnerabilities.
- Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
These conditions can cause serious illness. Let’s look out for each other.
