buoys in the keys hitting 91 degrees. imagine slipping in a pool that was 91 degrees. exceptional stuff going on. you could get in a jacuzzi in florida and have it be cooler than the air outside. bill karins, thank you very much. health officials in south florida say they are confirmed two more cases of malaria, just like the other five confirmed cases, neither of these patients reported international travel making these the first locally acquired infections in 20 years. guad venegas has that story. reporter: two new cases of malaria reported in sarasota county in florida. that s a total of seven cases in the u.s. this summer. one in texas, and six in florida. now, public health officials are prepared to deal with this in florida. it is hot and humid, and mosquitos are often in florida so they do have a system in place. in fact, as of last friday, the county in sarasota was using a
we still have the smoke from british columbia and alberta. and this is a pm 2.5 teedetecto this tells us how many particles are in the air. and in the studio, there is five. outside it said 70. so 70 parts in the air outside. it is better to be inside if you are looking at five compared to 70 and that is why they say please go indoors or of course wear a mask. but watch what happens to this, this is my own personal 2.5 detector. i m going to light a match, i ll put it out, and i ll blow a little bit of smoke. just a little bit from one match. and watch what happens to the numbers here. from 100 to 300 and higher, it probably ends up somewhere 999 if it pegs all the way out. but this is the stuff that you are breathing in, this fine, fine particles that are in the
