A National Weather Service heat advisory covers the U.S. Virgin Islands from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, October 5.
NWS says the heat may worsen symptoms for people with chronic conditions and increase heat-illness risk for anyone without adequate cooling or hydration. Coastal areas, lowlands, interior valleys and urban zones face the highest risk.
Drink water, limit strenuous outdoor activity to cooler hours, wear lightweight clothing and check on relatives and neighbors. Seek prompt help for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Afternoon showers and possible thunderstorms may bring a limited to elevated flood risk. The heat alert expires at 3 p.m. unless NWS extends or replaces it; check the original advisory for the latest official wording.
