As the Southeast begins to recover from the impacts of Tropical Storm Debby, a new concern arises in the form of potentially dangerous heat. While some areas are no longer feeling the direct effects of Debby's rain bands, high temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s are expected to persist.
The heat indices, which represent how hot it feels due to a combination of temperature and humidity, could soar above 110 degrees Fahrenheit in some locations. This extreme heat poses a risk to residents and could hinder the ongoing recovery efforts in the aftermath of the storm.
