NYC Weather: City Under Heat Advisory As Temps Soar Near 100

NEW YORK CITY — Prepare to broil yet again, New Yorkers.

The city will be under a heat advisory from Thursday at 11 a.m. to Friday at 8 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

And it's not going to be pleasant as highs Thursday are expected to hit 97 degrees — a near record, according to AccuWeather — and humidity is poised to swamp the city.

"Heat index values between 95 to 104 expected on Thursday, and 95 to 100 on Friday," the heat advisory states.

The two-day spate of excessive temperatures comes on the heels of a late July heat wave that officials deemed "dangerous."

As of Wednesday morning, the city had not yet activated its Cooling Center Finder, but in the past officials have encouraged New Yorkers without air conditioning to go to public places such as libraries.

"Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning," the heat advisory states. "Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors."

Emergency management officials urged New Yorkers to avoid strenuous activity during the coming heat advisory.
