Excessive Heat Could Return To NYC This Week, Forecasters Say

NEW YORK CITY — Crank up the AC, NYC — excessive heat could return to the Big Apple this week, forecasters warn.

The city is under a hazardous weather outlook from Tuesday through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

"Hot and humid conditions will result in heat indices in the mid 90s
to lower 100s Tuesday through Friday," the outlook states. "There is a chance that some heat indices reach or exceed 105, which would result in Excessive heat warnings. The best chances for locations reaching 105, will be Wednesday through Friday."

Summer temperatures have been mild compared to late June, when days of extended excessive heat prompted city officials to ask New Yorkers to reduce their power consumption or risk a citywide power outage.

Storms this week are predicted to roll into the city, along with the heat and humidity. Each day from Monday to Friday carries a chance of thunderstorms, according to the forecast.

High temperatures will hit 91 degrees on Thursday, although the humidity likely will make it feel hotter.
