NYC experiences record heat, breaking previous records
New York City is currently experiencing record-breaking heat, with temperatures soaring to 90°F (32°C) on Wednesday, surpassing the previous record set in 1941. Newark Airport also matched this high, breaking its 1960 record. LaGuardia Airport, Bridgeport, and Islip have similarly reported new record highs, as the region grapples with unseasonably warm conditions. This heat wave is attributed to a ridge of high pressure over the Western Atlantic Ocean, drawing warm air from the Southern U.S. into the tri-state area.
