NYC Is Currently Undergoing Its Longest Stretch Of 90º Weather All Summer
NYC’s weather this summer has taken us for quite the ride with its endless rain, long stretches of heat, and unseasonably cool temperatures that made us think fall was making an early appearance.
But we hope you didn’t put your summer clothes away yet!
Labor Day brought with it those 90° temperatures back to NYC, and we’re now currently stuck in them as NYC is undergoing its first official heat wave of the year.
A heat advisory is currently in effect now through 8 p.m. Thursday night, September 7th, with temperatures in the low to mid 90s, and heat indices in the mid to upper 90s.
Though it’s the humidity that’s making the situation way worse.
According to Mike Woods, a meteorologist at Fox 5’s Good Day New York, today, Wednesday, September 6th, will be hazy, hot and humid with a high of 93, though the humidity “will probably [make it] feel more like 100° this afternoon.”
And as students have already begun going back to school, the unexpected hot weather feels even more strange–to put the temperatures into perspective, the average high for this time of year is 80 degrees according to NBC.
The good news is the stifling temperatures have caused NYC to open its cooling centers, so at least New Yorkers have places to find some respite from the weather.
Temperatures are thankfully expected to begin falling back down on Friday, September 8th thanks to forecasted rain.
However, the humidity is expected to peak Friday and stick around through the weekend, according to NBC.
After a chance of thunderstorms early Monday, a cooler pattern will finally emerge with highs stuck in the low to mid 70s for much of next week, and it will maybe start actually feeling like fall is on its way.
In the mean time, in addition to cooling centers, we suggest heading to the pool to stay cool. Here are some of our favs in NYC:
Also, by the way, it’s totally legal to jump in NYC’s fountains when it’s hot out!
