WEATHER ALERT: Dangerous heat is on the way

Well, what do you know? All those complaints about the heat are perfectly valid. Health experts say dangerously hot weather and high humidity could cause problems over the next few days.

The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention is advising people to brace for unusual heat and humidity as the week winds down. But will this be a bona fide heat wave?

"It certainly looks like a heat wave from here," said Margaret Curtis, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray.

The accepted definition is three days or more of heat that tops 90 degrees. By Saturday, we should be there.

On Thursday, temperatures in Lewiston should climb to the low to mid-90s, Curtis said. That alone wouldn't be so bad. Factor in the humidity and behold, a heat index of perhaps 98 degrees.

"You put the two together," Curtis said, "and it feels much hotter."

Even the nights won't be exceptionally cool, according to the National Weather Service. In Lewiston, for instance, it was still 84 degrees at suppertime on Wednesday. Just reading the forecast could produce sweating.

"High pressure centered offshore will circulate hot and increasingly humid air into the region through Saturday," went the National Weather Service report. "A weak frontal boundary will sag across the area late Thursday, accompanied by scattered strong thunderstorms that may provide a brief break from the high humidity on Friday."

In layman's terms? "Hot and sticky," Curtis said. "A good day to be at the lake or something like that."

If this were Arizona, few problems would be expected. But according to the Maine CDC, Mainers are particularly vulnerable in the heat because most of us are not physically acclimated to truly torrid weather.

Over the past 10 years, Maine CDC studies have found that rates of hospitalizations and emergency room visits rise significantly when the air gets hot. And they are not talking about simple discomfort and irritability. Each year, more people die from heat than from all other weather events combined. In addition to illnesses like heat stroke, serious health conditions such as heart, respiratory and kidney disease can be aggravated by hot weather.

It's not only the disease-control people warning about the heat and humidity. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection on Thursday issued an air-quality health advisory for parts of Maine that included Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta and Portland.
