Heat Advisory Issued Across Nearly All of Central Florida
A Heat Advisory has been issued for nearly all of Central Florida, according to reporting by FOX 35 Orlando. The situation is open and developing.\n\nThe advisory began at 10:00 a.m. EDT on August 14, 2026. Different reports from FOX 35 Orlando cite conflicting end times for the advisory, ranging between 8:00 p.m. EDT on August 14, 2026, and 8:00 p.m. EDT on August 15, 2026.\n\nReports from FOX 35 Orlando also present conflicting details regarding expected heat index values. One report stated heat indices (feels-like temperatures) will soar to a range of around 108-111°+ once elevated humidity is factored in, with actual air temperatures above normal as afternoon highs reach the mid 90s. Another report stated that heat indices will be in the upper 100s and low 110s, though some isolated spots may be able to sneak up even hotter than that.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
