💨 Abstract

The National Weather Service issued a warning of excessive heat and humidity for the D.C. area, with heat indexes expected to reach 110°F from Sunday to mid-next week. Alex Koo, an emergency medicine physician, advised staying hydrated, seeking shade, and being aware of heat-related symptoms like weakness and fatigue. High humidity can exacerbate these risks by hindering the body's ability to cool down.
