State environmental officers on Sunday are warning residents about doubtlessly unhealthy air high quality, as the warmth wave peaks with obvious temperatures presumably surging into the 100s throughout the Boston space.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has issued an “Air Quality Advisory” throughout japanese and southeastern counties of the Bay State.
The air high quality alert is in impact till 11 p.m. Sunday for japanese areas of Essex County, southern Bristol and Plymouth counties, and Barnstable and Dukes counties.
The alert is “due to an expected increase in ozone levels,” MassDEP mentioned in an announcement.
“Air in these areas is expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups,” the environmental company added. “Sensitive groups include people with heart or lung disease, such as asthma, older adults, children, teenagers, and people who are active outdoors. People with either lung disease or heart disease are at greater risk from exposure to ozone.”
MassDEP is urging folks in delicate teams to “reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, take more breaks, do less intense activities, follow asthma action plans, and keep quick relief medicine handy.”
“Watch for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath,” MassDEP added.
Sunday is one other scorcher of a day throughout the area.
“The heat peaks today with near record high temperatures of 95 to 100°F,” the National Weather Service’s Boston workplace tweeted. “Factoring in the humidity, heat index values or apparent temperatures of 100 to 104°F are likely. Remember to stay cool & hydrated especially if you are heading outdoors!”
Meanwhile, there’s a reasonable danger for rip currents on southern-facing seashores on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island.
NWS Boston tweeted, “Also, it is recommended when visiting these beaches to check in with lifeguards on the status of rip currents at the specific location.”
