🌡️ IMPACTO DEL CALOR
Máxima cercana a los 31 °C (87 °F).

⚠️ El período de mayor calor será entre las 10:00 y las 16:00. Permanecer al aire libre durante mucho tiempo puede provocar estrés por calor y deshidratación.

💨 VIENTO
Este-sureste 19–27 km/h (12–17 mph)

🌊 MAR
0.9–1.2 m (3–4 pies)
Condiciones marítimas generalmente moderadas.

🌫️ IMPACTO EN LA CALIDAD DEL AIRE
Una oleada de polvo sahariano reducirá la calidad del aire a niveles moderados esta tarde.

⚠️ Las personas con asma, alergias u otras afecciones respiratorias podrían experimentar molestias.

🌙 ESTA NOCHE
Mayormente despejado con algunas nubes y baja probabilidad de chubascos aislados.

🌅 Puesta de sol: 18:59

✅ QUÉ HACER
💧 Beba mucha agua.
