A heat advisory was Friday morning for the interior parts of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Kendall, Miramar, Hialeah, Florida City, Carol City and Kendale Lakes.

The National Weather Service advisory will be in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. While temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-90s, it could feel as high as 109 degrees when you mix in humidity, according to the weather service.

Expect it to remain hot across South Florida through the weekend, with a slight chance of rain.

The weather service advises people to stay indoors and drink plenty of fluids. Stay in air-conditioned spaces, limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, and check on relatives and neighbors.

Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing. Wear a hat and sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays when outside.

If you must be outside, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments. If you feel lightheaded, confused, weak, or faint, seek immediate medical attention by calling 911.

Extreme heat makes miserable and dangerous job worse for India's garbage pickers
India generates at least 62 million tons of waste annually, according to federal government records, and some of its landfills are literal mountains of garbage, like the Bhalswa landfill in New Delhi. And while a 2016 law made it mandatory to segregate waste so that hazardous material doesn't make its way to landfills, the law has been poorly enforced, adding to the risk of waste pickers. It is a potentially toxic miasma fed by the plastics, industrial, medical and other waste generated by millions living in the capital New Delhi and the teeming suburban cities. But a handful of waste pickers ignore both the fumes and suffocating heat to sort through the rubbish, seeking anything they can sell to earn a living. (AP video by Piyush Nagpal)
