An important component to all of these heat-related advisories/warnings from NOAA is the "Heat Index."
Central Park’s temp and humidity values fell in the afternoon . So although it’s hot out, it’s not really meeting “warning” criteria. Using the sources commonly listed here, I told people on Sunday that the humidity would drop during peak heating, and it has today!
It was more humid in the morning than it was during the afternoon, and the temp leveled off around 2pm.
My point: NOAA should have stuck with an advisory for what it’s worth (which I don’t think it’s much). They should never issue heat advisories/warnings for NYC unless it’s going to hit 100, or be within a degree or two of it. Also, while I’m at it, they should never issue flood watches; the same main roads flood no matter what the situation is. Who cares?!?
Back to what you were doing…
