An Extreme Heat Warning means that the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 105 degrees or greater. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible, and drink plenty of water. Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk.

If you don't have home air conditioning, continue to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.

CURRENT WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE N.Y.C. REGION
The map window below is refreshed every 10 minutes
The weather data shown above comes from MADIS ( Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System ). MADIS collates data from federal, state and local agencies and then makes it available for public use. The MADIS data I use comes primarily from the New Jersey Weather and Climate Network and the Automatic Packet Reporting System ( APRS ). The round icons display current temperatures (°F). When the temperature icon equals or exceeds 90°F it turns red. Temperatures at or below 32°F are shown as blue. These stations range from Ocean City, Maryland to Provincetown, Massachusetts. This map was created primarily to help track the rain / snow line ( the 32°F isotherm ) as winter northeasters move up along the coast. It is also possible to see the cooling effect of sea breezes on coastal sites during the summer. Additional weather data for each station can be accessed in a pop-up table by clicking on the round temperature icons. These data are updated every 10 minutes.
