Another potentially deadly heatwave<\/a> will envelop the northeast this week, with temperatures set to feel like 100 degrees \u2014 though it\u2019ll feel less intense than the one that baked the area earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in the Big Apple will peak Wednesday at 96 degrees, although the feel-like temperature will top 100 degrees. Mercury will spike at 92 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Parts of the Jersey Shore will reach feels-like temperatures of 107 Wednesday, according to AccuWeather.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a close call as to whether Central Park will hit 100 on Wednesday. Some of the New Jersey suburbs that tend to run a little bit hotter, such as Newark, will probably hit 100 on Wednesday,\u201d John Feerick, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, told The Post on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhiladelphia probably hits the century mark as well. Central Park will be a closer call, but certainly in the realm of possibility,\u201d Feerick added.<\/p>\n

At least three New York residents died<\/a> from heat during the recent scorcher in the first week of July.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay hydrated, stay in the shade if you are going to be outdoors for a prolonged period of time, stay in the air conditioning if you can. If you don\u2019t have air conditioning, obviously, you want to keep the fans running. Stay cool any way you can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

New York City has experienced nine 90-plus days so far this summer, with an average summer in the city enduring 15 days above that figure.<\/p>\n

The record number of 90-degree-plus days in New York City is 39, and was set in two different years, 1991 and 1993.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers will experience some relief this week, with the heatwave set to be less intense than last week\u2019s, with far lower humidity, although conditions could still be \u201cdeadly,\u201d Feerick warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though this might not be quite as bad as the last heat wave, it still could be a deadly heat wave if you don\u2019t heed the warnings. You definitely want to make sure you stay cool and hydrated as best you can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

No rain is expected in New York until the weekend at the earliest, when temperatures will likely drop to average July conditions in the 80s.<\/p>\n

The weekend could also bring strong to severe thunderstorms, similar to those earlier in July that disrupted some of the events in New York<\/a> for America\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n

John Feerick, AccuWeather senior meteorologist, spoke to The Post. Instagram\/atmosfeerick<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good news is that the humidity is not going to be quite as high as it was with the last heat wave. So it\u2019s not going to be quite as bad, or as memorable, as the last one,\u201d Feerick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still going to be pretty significant, still dangerous for sure. But it\u2019s not going to be quite as long-lived, and the humidity won\u2019t be quite as high as with this one,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

However, while temperatures are set to drop over the weekend, the humidity will increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be more humid again as we head into the weekend. But it\u2019s going to be more of your standard summertime warmth and humidity highs, generally mid and upper 80s,\u201d Feerick said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another potentially deadly heatwave will envelop the northeast this week, with temperatures set to feel like 100 degrees…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294935,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[78715,57,9,24,55,54,56,63,58,133],"class_list":["post-294934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-heatwave","tag-metro","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-us-news","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
