The Big Apple will burn this week, but it won’t burn.
After five straight days of temperatures exceeding 90 degrees, forecasters said the heat wave will finally ease up a bit on Monday.
“Temperatures are expected to be around 92 degrees on Sunday, then back down into the mid to upper 80s on Monday,” FOX forecaster Cody Blood told The Washington Post.
“A heat wave is when temperatures reach 90 degrees or above for at least three consecutive days,” Blood explained, adding that the local record was a 12-day heatwave in 1953.
“We’re going to call this a mini heat wave,” he said.
It will still be hot next week.
“The heat advisory won’t last until next week, but high temperatures will rise from the mid 90s to the mid to upper 80s Fahrenheit. It’ll still be pretty warm,” said FOX weather producer Dax Clark.
Thunderstorms are also possible on Sunday, which could bring temperatures down in the city on the first official weekend of the summer season.
Long Island beaches might actually be cooler than your Manhattan apartment or subway.
“The entirety of Long Island is not under a heat advisory. For example, Montauk is only seeing a high of 75 degrees,” Clark said.
“But there are actually extreme heat warnings in place for parts of the Jersey Shore.”
