A Back-To-School Heat Advisory

Central Florida Cooling Center Officials say a heat advisory is issued when the heat index is expected to reach 108 to 112 degrees, while an extreme heat warning is issued at 113 degrees or higher.

Just about all of the Bay area is under a heat advisory from noon-7 pm, and for the kids heading back to school, that’s going to be rough. Regardless, classes are back in session already for students in Hillsborough, Manatee, Citrus and Sarasota. Polk, Pinellas and Hernando county classes return this Tuesday. Pasco students have Thursday, August 13 as their first day back at school.

But you can still save of many of the items on the list for Florida’s Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday through Aug. 20 for your chance to stock up on school supplies and clothes for kids tax-free.
