Extreme heat warning

An extreme heat warning is issued by the National Weather Service when the heat index is forecast to reach dangerous levels. Generally, this occurs when the heat index is expected to be at least 105°F (41°C) for over three hours daily for two consecutive days, or if it exceeds 115°F (46°C) at any time. The warning is typically issued within 12 hours of these criteria being met, signaling an imminent threat of heat-related illnesses and advising people to take precautions.
