The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for much of central Pennsylvania as temperatures are expected to go beyond 90 degrees on Monday.

The advisory lasts from noon until 8 p.m. Monday as a high around 93 degrees is expected, Paul Head, senior meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said. The humidity is expected to be high as well, he added.

The record high temperature for June 18 is 93, set in 2006, and Monday's heat is expected to be near the record, Head said.

Monday will be the hottest day of the week, as temperatures steadily decline starting on Tuesday.

Head advised that people sensitive to the heat, such as the elderly, people with heart conditions and breathing problems, should stay in an air-conditioned area for as much of the day as possible. People working outside, such as construction workers and farmers, are advised to stay hydrated.
