It will hit the mid-90s in the tri-state area on Sunday and Monday — but it will feel like it’s well past 100 degrees, forecasters say.
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the five boroughs between noon to 8 p.m., on Sunday, when heat and humidity will make it feel like 103 degrees outside, according to NWS forecasters.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation has also issued an air quality alert for the metropolitan area between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m.
The high temps are part of record-breaking heat wave rolling through most of the United States, with most of the country experiencing 90-degree weather over the next week.
Con Edison said crews are prepared to respond to service problems that arise as temperatures exceed 90 degrees starting Saturday.
“The heat, humidity and increased demand for electricity to power air conditioners can cause cables to overheat and lead to outages,” the company says on its website. “The coming days could also bring thunderstorms, which can affect the overhead delivery system and cause outages.”
The company also urges the public to stay away from any wires that are downed during storms.
“Do not touch them with your hands or any object,” the website states.
The company said the public should call police or 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633) to report downed wires.
The city will be operating cooling centers and as well as a “cool streets” initiative, during which it will open fire hydrants with spray caps on certain streets that have already been closed to vehicular traffic during the coronavirus pandemic.
