NYC Heat Wave Alert: Stay Cool and Safe!
The tri-state area is experiencing another heat wave, with temperatures soaring to 90 degrees and heat indices exceeding 100 degrees. This is the second heat wave of the summer, and the high humidity is making it particularly dangerous.
What makes this heat wave dangerous?
High humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, hindering the body's natural cooling process. This can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, particularly if the heat persists for several days.
Even overnight temperatures are only dropping into the upper 70s, offering little relief.
When will it end?
A cold front is expected to arrive on Thursday, bringing with it a chance of thunderstorms. Cooler, drier air will follow, with temperatures dropping significantly by Friday. The weekend forecast predicts sunny skies, comfortable temperatures in the low 80s, and low humidity.
