This week, Central Park tied a nearly 140-year-old heat record with temperatures reaching 96 degrees Fahrenheit. As one of the hottest June stretches in a decade, the city is experiencing a significant heat wave, prompting the National Weather Service to issue heat advisories. In response, emergency measures have been enacted by local authorities, including a State of Emergency declaration by Governor Kathy Hochul. Despite the sweltering conditions, relief is expected later in the week with cooler temperatures and potential scattered showers.
With real-feel temps soaring past 105 degrees Fahrenheit in Central Park, the city's first major heat wave of the year is bringing sweat-soaked misery.
Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have issued emergency responses, with Hochul declaring a State of Emergency across 32 counties.
