Just got this email:

ENGLAND TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...EXCEPT NEAR THE SOUTH COAST. THE
ANTICIPATED 90 TO 95 DEGREE HEAT HERE WEDNESDAY...IS LIKELY TO BE OUR
WARMEST WEATHER SINCE MID AUGUST 2002. FORTUNATELY WELCOME RELIEF
WILL ARRIVE HERE THURSDAY IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
THE WARMEST WEATHER OF THIS YEAR SO FAR...AND POSSIBLY DATING BACK TO
MID AUGUST 2002...IS ON THE HORIZON FOR MANY OF THE METROPOLITAN
AREAS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
TEMPERATURES AWAY FROM THE OCEANS INFLUENCE HAVE REBOUNDED RAPIDLY
FROM SUNDAYS CHILLY READINGS...AROUND 80 IN MANY AREAS LATE THIS
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
TOMORROW AT AROUND 2 PM...THE MERCURY WILL BE WITHIN A COUPLE OF
DEGREES OF 90 IN HARTFORD...SPRINGFIELD...MANCHESTER...
FITCHBURG...AS WELL AS THE NEARBY SUBURBS OF BOSTON AND
PROVIDENCE...WHERE LOCAL SEABREEZES MAY MODIFY THE ONCOMING HEAT IN
THE CITY PROPER. YET...EVEN DOWNTOWN BOSTON AND PROVIDENCE MAY
EXPERIENCE READINGS AROUND 90 FOR AN HOUR OR 2 LATE IN THE DAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOW TO FALL TUESDAY NIGHT WITH STEADY AND WARM
SOUTHWEST BREEZES. LOWS MAY NOT DROP MUCH BELOW 70 IN THE URBAN
CENTERS.
WEDNESDAY WILL SIZZLE FROM THE WARM START...WITH NEAR RECORD
HIGHS...LIKELY IN THE LOW AND MID 90S AROUND 2 PM.
IN SUMMARY...A HOT COUPLE OF DAYS ARE COMING UP...BEFORE MUCH COOLER
AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES RETURN THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
IN PLANNING FOR THIS ABRUPT CHANGE FROM THE PAST 16 TO 17 DAYS OF
COOLER NORMAL WEATHER...CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH REGARD TO STRENUOUS
OUTDOOR ACTIVITY BETWEEN 11 AM AND 4 PM...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY.
EXCESSIVE HEAT...ESPECIALLY WHEN PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN...CAN
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH,.
SLOW DOWN...TRY AND STAY IN COOL...SHADY OR AIR CONDITIONED SPACES.
HYDRATE....DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT
LIGHT COLORED AND LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING. USE SUN PROTECTION DEVICES
INCLUDING A HAT...SUNGLASSES...AND A GOOD SCREENING AGENT.
HEAT CAN AFFECT ANYONE. HOWEVER...IT IS MORE LIKELY TO AFFECT YOUNG
CHILDREN...ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS.
CHECK ON THE ELDERLY AND SICK...ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT LIVE ALONE...
ALL WHO ARE AT HIGHER RISK.
OK, yesterday I had on a sweatshirt and a sweater. By Wednesday I'll be wearing my birthday suit!
