Rhode Island Heat Wave Warning | Providence News

Rhode Island is facing a dangerous heat wave this week, with an Extreme Heat Watch in effect from Wednesday through Friday, pushing heat index values to 110 degrees — a serious health threat, especially with high humidity. The blast of heat will also impact parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, raising concerns about heat-related illnesses. Experts urge everyone to hydrate, stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces, and avoid the sun — while checking on vulnerable neighbors and never leaving kids or pets in parked cars. Temperatures will climb from 92 on Wednesday to 98 on Thursday and Friday, with mostly sunny skies and no relief until the weekend, including Independence Day. Stay cool, stay safe, and look out for one another.
