A heat advisory has been issued for Monday from noon to 7 p.m. for Orleans County with heat index values in the mid 90s expected.
The advisory from the National Weather Service also includes Genesee, Niagara, Monroe, Livingston, Wayne, northern Cayuga and Ontario counties.
The hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses to occur, the Weather Service said.
“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,” the Weather Service advised. “Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.”
The high temperature for Monday is forecast to reach 91, followed by a sunny and hot Tuesday with a high of 92, and then a high near 89 on Wednesday.
