The severe weather poses risks of flash flooding, which can become life-threatening within minutes, and damaging winds that could cause property damage. The intense heat and humidity may lead to heat-related illnesses, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Coastal areas and low-lying neighborhoods are at higher risk of flooding, and residents are advised to have evacuation plans in place. The combination of heat and storms could disrupt outdoor activities and travel plans across the city.
