New York temperatures may reach 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) today, and feel closer to 108, as government agencies from Montreal to Virginia warned against an oppressive blast of heat that may increase electric use.
The U.S. National Weather Service issued advisories alerting residents of the East Coast that high temperatures and humidity may make outside activity dangerous through tomorrow. Environment Canada issued a similar warning for southern Quebec, including Montreal.
An excessive heat warning has also been issued for New York City and the metropolitan area including Newark, New Jersey, until 8 p.m. because hot weather and humidity may make it feel like temperatures are between 105 and 108.
“It’s going to be hot and it’s going to be humid, and we want to make sure people are taking all the appropriate precautions for that,” said Lauren Nash, a Weather Service meteorologist in Upton, New York.
New York City residents were urged to limit unnecessary electric use as much as possible while the heat persists, according to a statement from Consolidated Edison Co.
