"The near-record temperatures are expected to last into this weekend, forecasters say. While it's not unprecedented to see high temperatures climb toward 90F on an April day, the length of such an April heatwave is rarely seen."
"Feerick said that starting Wednesday we're going to have records challenged from basically Georgia all the way up through the New York City area and back towards the Ohio Valley."
"The National Weather Service is projecting a high temperature around 86F for Central Park in New York City on Wednesday. The record high for the date is 87F, which has stood since 1941."
"The good thing about this is that the humidity is not summertime levels, he added. However, the early-season heat can be more stressful on people's bodies since they haven't had a chance to acclimate."
A heatwave is set to impact the eastern United States, with record high temperatures anticipated in cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. This unusual April heat is characterized by its intensity and duration, with temperatures expected to reach near-record levels. The National Weather Service forecasts a high of 86F in New York City, close to the 87F record from 1941. The heatwave poses health risks as people may struggle to acclimate to the sudden rise in temperature, despite lower humidity levels.
