I reside in a southern state and experienced my 1st Afib episode on February 22nd of this year. Our heat and humidity is in summer mode now. Today it is 91°F with 77% humidity at 9:30 am. My Bp is low by my standard reads and BPM are wacky today. I worked outside for 30 minutes before 8 am. This is a tell for me. Stay out of this weather to prevent an Afib event. Always a learning curve, however, I am working hard to manage this new heart ❤️ condition. Taking it a day at a time. We live in a rural area and I love this small farm life. God willing I can enjoy it for years to come. Your comments were very helpful. Thank you.

You may find the Ambient Weather WS-HE01 interesting. Pocket sized. Gives temperature, humidity, heat index, and heat index danger warning signal that can be set to personal needs. I have had one for three years and it helps when I am out in the woods.

All sounds very familiar to me. Afib you just have to learn to live with it. It rarely goes away completely. even with ablations and medications. Be smart as you seem to be. Watch that humility Make sure your sweating when outside . Not sweating is not a good sign Dehydration collapse even heat stroke Sweating is good Peace
