Extreme heat returns to most of Massachusetts. See which areas are under heat advisory
The WBZ Next Weather Team has issued a Next Weather Alert for high heat on the way for the first half of the upcoming week.
A Heat Advisory goes into effect for all of southern New England aside for the Berkshires, Cape Cod, and the Islands starting Monday at 11 a.m. through Wednesday at 8 p.m., with heat index values climbing into the mid 90s to near 100 degrees.
Tuesday looks to be the hottest day with actual temperatures climbing into the mid 90s, and feeling more like 100 degrees with the higher humidity. But many towns will also get into the 90s on Monday and Wednesday.
If you're looking for some relief from the heat, sea breezes will keep the immediate coast line, Cape Cod and the Islands a little cooler with temperatures in the 80s.
Boston could hit 90 degrees or higher all three days, which would make it the third heat wave of the summer for the city. So far this summer, we've already had 14 90-degree days and will likely tack on a few more this week.
With temperatures in the 90s and high humidity heat illnesses are possible, it's recommended to drink plenty of water, stay cool in the shade or air conditioned rooms and to try and limit strenuous activities outside.
If you don't like the heat there is relief in sight! A cold front mid week looks to bring some showers Thursday followed by cooler, more comfortable air for the end of the week and upcoming weekend!

Monday will be hot, humid in Philadelphia region amid another heat wave. Here's the weather forecast.
Get ready for another heat wave! In fact, the high temperature of 91 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport Sunday afternoon kicked off the fifth heat wave of the summer as temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-upper 90s through Wednesday afternoon. In addition to the heat and humidity on Sunday, the scattered showers and thunderstorms eventually cleared out to give way to mostly clear skies to start things off Monday morning. Temperatures will begin in the mid-70s across the region before warming into the low-middle 90s Monday afternoon. Just like on Sunday, the humidity on Monday afternoon will make it feel much warmer with feels-like temperatures soaring to near 100 degrees. While it will be unseasonably hot, it won't quite reach record territory with Monday's record high at 100 degrees. By Tuesday, the heat turns up even more with high temperatures across the region likely in the mid-upper 90s. The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday in Philadelphia is for a high of 98 degrees, which would tie the record for both days. But what will it feel like? Along with the increasing temperatures, the humidity will also be on the rise, which will make it feel like anywhere between 100-105 degrees. When temperatures climb this high, it can be dangerous for anyone without adequate ways to stay cool and hydrated. As a result, the NEXT Weather Team has issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Tuesday and Wednesday to keep you aware of this dangerous heat. By Thursday, showers and storms will develop ahead of an approaching cold front that will put an end to this heat wave and usher in much cooler air by Friday. Friday is the start of August, and the start of an extended cooler stretch of air bringing relief from the heat through the first week of August. Highs Friday and into the weekend will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Monday: Heat turns up. High 95, Low 74. Tuesday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 98, Low 75. Wednesday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 98, Low 77. Thursday: Storms end the heat. High 83, Low 77. Friday: Much cooler. High 79, Low 67. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 81, Low 64. Sunday: Sunny skies. High 83, Low 62. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast
