NYC heat advisory in effect as temps feel like 100 degrees
Briefly

New York City is experiencing extreme heat, with temperatures in the mid-90s and humidity causing the heat index to exceed 100 degrees. A heat advisory is in effect until 10 pm. Scattered thunderstorms may occur later, bringing risks of heavy rain, damaging winds, and potential flash flooding. Mayor Eric Adams advises residents to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, and utilize cooling centers. This heat wave is connected to record rainfall and humidity levels.
