NYC could see its first heat wave of 2025. Here's what that means.

New York City and the surrounding Tri-State Area could face their first heat wave of the season next week, as the first day of summer arrives. Temperatures are expected to climb into the 90s Sunday and then stay there for a few days. Here's everything to know about heat waves in the city and other heat related terms. What is a heat wave? CBS News New York While New York City is no stranger to hot days, it's when those hot days become incessant and successive that problems start to arise. When high temperatures reach or exceed 90 degrees for three consecutive days or more, that is defined as a heat wave. On average, the city sees two heat waves per summer, lasting around four days each. The longest heat wave ever recorded in the city lasted 12 days in 1953 from Aug. 24 to Sept. 4. In a typical summer, a high temperature of 90 degrees or above occurs 15 times. In 2024, 21 of them were recorded. Climate projections indicate that this number may rise to 69 by the 2050s, with the duration increasing to six days. CBS News New York It's during these prolonged periods of heat that the most heat related illnesses and deaths occur. In fact, 370 deaths are attributed to heat each year in the city, with most of them happening during heat waves. Heat is also the number one weather related killer across the country. Neighborhoods in the South Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and Central Brooklyn are the most susceptible due to a variety of factors including socioeconomic status, higher rates of pollution, lack of air conditioning and less trees. Elderly people are most at risk, regardless of any of these factors. Exacerbating the effects of heat waves in the city is the city's infrastructure. The concrete jungle, filled with towering buildings and endless paved surfaces allows for more efficient heating during the daytime due to a phenomenon known as the 'Urban Heat Island Effect". However, the effects of this phenomenon are most pronounced at night. This is because the infrastructure of the city traps in all of the heat that built up during the day, thus preventing a normal nocturnal cooldown seen in non-urban settings. Some nights there can be as much as a 20-degree difference in temperature between the city and surrounding suburbs. High heat during the day is stressful enough on the human body, but when it can't cool down even at night, that becomes a major health concern. Heat wave vs. heat dome CBS News New York Many times, heatwaves are the direct result of the meteorological phenomenon known as a "Heat Dome." Heat Domes are areas of very strong high pressure that set up over a particular region and become basically stationary. From their stationary location, they are able to pump very hot air and humidity to areas within their vicinity, which can be quite extensive at times. Since they don't move much, air within them can become extremely hot and stagnant, leading to dangerously high temperatures and poor air quality. Heat Domes can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks before breaking down. Excessive heat warning & heat advisory CBS News New York Although not always the case, excessive heat warnings usually coincide with heat waves. Excessive heat warnings are issued 24 hours in advance of a forecasted heat index of at least 105 degrees or above for at least two consecutive hours. High heat indices are usually associated with higher levels of humidity, and New York City certainly sees a lot of that during the summer, especially during the month of August. The high levels of humidity work in conjunction with the Urban Heat Island Effect to produce higher heat indices. Excessive heat warnings are the highest form of heat alerts that are issued. They are not issued as regularly as heat advisories, being reserved for only the most sweltering days. An average summer typically yields between one to three of these such warnings. Some summers have none, such as in 2022, while others have much more. CBS News New York When an excessive heat warning is issued, extreme caution is needed. This includes limiting time outdoors, drinking plenty of water, not drinking too much alcohol or coffee, exercising during cooler portions of day, eating light meals and staying in air-conditioned places.

4 Things To Know About The 1st Major U.S. Summer Heatwave

For meteorologists like me, summer started on June 1. However, the calendar says the summer solstice is today. The atmosphere got the memo as the first major summer of 2025 will descend upon the United States this weekend into next week. Here are four things that you need to know about it. On this day with the longest duration of daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere, the Earth is tilted at its maximum angle towards the sun and marks the start of astronomical summer. While the U.S. has already experienced hot temperatures, nature is about to take it up a notch with several days of life-threatening heat across much of the country. The main core of major heat on Friday is expected in the Great Plains and Midwest. By Sunday, the core shifts slightly eastward and intensifies. The National Weather Service heat risk map indicates extreme conditions affecting places like Omaha, Chicago, and St. Louis. Moderate and major heat risks are expected from Sunday into late next week for almost every location east of the Rockies. As we move into the work week, the core of extreme heat shifts further eastward. Cities like Atlanta, Washington D.C., Cincinnati, Charlotte, and New York will be sweltering in temperatures within the range of 95 to 100+ degrees F for several days. When the humidity is factored in, the heat indices and wet bulb globe temperatures will be at dangerous levels for activity, exertion, and our infrastructure. For example, earlier this week reports surfaced about how U.S. heat was affecting the FIFA Club World Cup. Several locations have outdoor venues. Many international players, particularly from Europe, have complained about the level of exertion in heat that they have never experienced. Venue workers and fans have also been affected by the heat. Unfortunately for many of the venues in the eastern half of the U.S., it is about to get worse. The short answer has been alluded to already. It's the beginning of summer. However, let's dig into the meteorology a bit more. As a meteorologist, my 'weather' senses tingle when I see a large, sustained high pressure system on the map at this time of year. I know that can mean persistent, dangerous heat or drought. Low pressure systems are often the focus of meteorologists and the public because they are often associated with storm systems, rainfall, and hazardous risks. Like the heat risk in general, high pressure systems or anticyclones are often overlooked. High pressure during the summer is typically associated with less cloud cover, sinking air, and hot conditions. Weather map for the U.S. on June 22, 2025. NOAA and NWS The NWS Weather Prediction Center wrote, "A notably strong upper high will be centered over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the Mid-Atlantic next week, continuing a significant and extremely dangerous heat wave across much of the eastern half of the lower 48." Another key component of this brutal stretch of heat is moisture. The map below shows expected dewpoint temperatures by the middle of next week. The combination of extreme heat and moisture equals dangerous conditions. Extreme temperatures are the deadliest weather in the U.S. annually. However, people do not react to it in the same way they do tornadoes, hurricanes, or even lightning. Heck, even many media outlets showing kids playing in pools or eating ice cream rather than portraying heat as a serious risk. The extreme daytime temperatures expected with this heatwave are very concerning. It is critical that we all treat extremely hot days differently. U.S. Weather fatalities in 2024. NWS As with hurricanes and tornadoes, there is planning that you can do now (see graphic below) for extreme heat. Elevated nighttime temperatures with high humidity can be even more dangerous, particularly for elderly populations or people with inadequate cooling options. Check on vulnerable people in your personal circles and don't forget pets too. Finally, be sure you can recognize signs of heat stroke, heat exhaustion, Rhabdomyolysis, heat syncope, heat rash, or heat cramps. Extreme heat planning guidelines. NOAA Heat impacts people, animals and plants, but it also affects critical infrastructure. Primary impacts are observed in our transportation networks, energy systems, and water supply infrastructure. However, other impacts include drought implications, wildfire risk, crime or aggression, and increased activity in healthcare facilities such as hospitals or urgent care. Extreme heat affects our infrastructure. NOAA and NWS

Fantastic Friday across Maryland ahead of dangerous heat wave

We get to enjoy a fantastic Friday of weather after a strong to damaging line of storms Thursday evening. Skies will stay partly to mostly sunny today with a comfortable breeze out of the west-northwest. Humidity levels dropped overnight and we'll benefit from the low humidity today. High temperatures will climb into the middle 80s. All outdoor plans now through this evening look picture perfect. Enjoy this beautiful and comfortable weather today as a dangerous heat wave is on the way. Summer heat during AFRAM weekend A surge of heat builds into the region this weekend, just in time for major outdoor events like the AFRAM festival in Baltimore. Highs on both Saturday and Sunday will rise into the low to mid-90s, and when combined with elevated humidity levels, heat index values could climb to near 100 degrees or higher by Sunday afternoon. Festival-goers are urged to take precautions, including wearing light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, seeking shade when possible, and drinking plenty of water. The UV index over the weekend will be around a 9 or 10, so please wear sun protection and apply generous amounts of sunscreen. Dangerous heat wave arrives next week A powerful upper-level ridge of high pressure will establish itself over the Mid-Atlantic, creating a multi-day stretch of extreme heat. First Alert Weather Days have been issued for Sunday through Wednesday of next week. Actual high temperatures will flirt with 100° each day. The heat index could easily exceed that threshold, possibly feeling as hot as 105°. In some highly urbanized areas, heat index values may climb as high as 110°, Monday and Tuesday should be the peak of the heat wave, with some spots potentially experiencing heat index values above 105 degrees. These conditions could lead to heat-related illnesses if proper precautions aren't taken. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities during peak heating hours, check on vulnerable neighbors, and ensure pets have access to water and shade. Later in the week, the upper-level ridge will begin to weaken, allowing for slightly cooler - though still hot - temperatures in the 90s. As moisture returns to the region, so will the chance for scattered thunderstorms by late next week, offering a potential pattern change as July gets underway. Stay with WJZ for continuous updates on the intensifying heat into next week.
