90°F is a pretty warm day for most, but in #NYC, that was the *coolest* if felt for most people over the past 24 hours.

In 3/5 NYC boroughs, the @nysmesonet set all-time station records for warmest low temperature, and warmest minimum heat index yesterday. #nywx

@nickwoj98 But with a wind shift later this afternoon it should spike into the low to mid 90s near 6:00!

Central Park, NYC is at 96F as of 12pm. Out of all available data from 1950-present, Central Park reached >=96F by 12pm only 6 other times on record. All 6 days peaked at or above 100F in the afternoon.

The last time Central Park reached 100F was 7/18/2012, almost 14 years ago.

A dangerous heat wave will impact the central & eastern U.S. starting Sun and continue through the Jul 4 weekend. Highs will be in the 90s-100s with heat indices of 100–110° (locally 115°). Warm nights will offer little relief. Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and seek A/C.
