Heat Advisory issued May 19 at 3:26AM EDT until May 20 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Effective: Tue May 19, 2026, 3:26 AM
Expires: Tue May 19, 2026, 4:30 PM

* WHAT...Heat index values up to 98 degrees expected. * WHERE...In Delaware, New Castle County. In New Jersey, Mercer, Camden, Gloucester, and Northwestern Burlington Counties. In Pennsylvania, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Lower Bucks, and Philadelphia Counties. * WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Record setting high temperatures are quite possible through Wednesday, with maximum heat indices nearing 100 degrees during peak heating each afternoon. Given the intensity of this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we are not acclimated to it yet and therefore impacts could be greater if precautions are not taken. Showers and some thunderstorms arrive later Wednesday afternoon and evening which will break this early season heat.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
