If your weekend plans include the Cocoa Beach Air Show or any other outdoor activities, you might want to have a backup plan.
The weather is expected to be especially hot starting July 11 with highs near 92 and a heat index reaching 105 or higher. Rain and thunderstorm chances are around 50%.
“Heat and high humidity will combine each day to produce heat indices in the low to mid 100s, perhaps approaching 107 degrees in a few spots by Saturday and especially Sunday,” according to the National Weather Service. “Those with outdoor weekend plans should keep this in mind and stay protected from prolonged heat exposure by taking frequent cooling and hydration breaks. While the prospects of a Heat Advisory for Sunday are not likely at this time, these mid-100 degrees heat indices can be dangerous to heat-sensitive individuals.”
Will it rain, be extra hot in Brevard County this weekend?
There’s a good chance of that. Both July 11 and July 12 have 50% chances of rain, mainly in the afternoon.
The heat is the big factor this weekend. Highs are predicted to be in the mid-90s both Saturday and Sunday with an extra dose of high humidity.
What happens if the Cocoa Beach Air Show is rained out?
Tickets are non-refundable.
“In the event of non-authorized intervention, weather or other causes beyond control, the event may be terminated early,” according to the event website. “If the event is cancelled in its entirety due to an occurrence outside of the control of Event Management on one or both days, Event Management, at its sole discretion, may attempt to make an accommodation the following day or at next year’s event for discounted admission.”
