Join Melissa Griffin, Assistant State Climatologist at the South Carolina Department of Natural
Resources as she will answer questions submitted by Weather Band members and discuss tips, tricks, and tactics for staying safe in the heat this summer. Topics discussed include heat waves, how heat and humidity affects us, and the differences between WetBulb Globe Temperatures and Heat Index.
