Nurse explains Wet-Bulb: High humidity heat danger, signs, what to do.

Local nurse educator Beth Tremblay has provided guidance for Hampton Roads residents on dealing with high humidity during heat advisories, explaining how the wet-bulb effect impairs the body’s ability to cool down. The advice includes recognizing symptoms of heat-related illness, ranging from flushing to dizziness and confusion, and outlines immediate actions like moving to a cool area, hydrating, and calling 911 for suspected heatstroke. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity during hot periods, and seek cool environments to prevent illness.
