We even topped 100 degrees on July 6. The dangerous temperatures claimed three lives in the New York City area in just those four days. And while that was a scorching stretch of weather, the hottest July on record was recorded in 1999.

A Break in the Heat

Today is the final day of extreme heat and humidity. Many parts of the region had temperatures spike high enough to reach an official heat wave. A heat wave is defined as 3 days in a row with a 90 degree temperature or better.

However... things will change big time this weekend. The clouds will thicken and the rain drops will become more frequent for both Saturday and Sunday. The temperature will also drop a good 20 degrees from today's high. This will leave us with 70's rather than 90's!

On that date, the high temperature was 93 degrees. That also coincided with the end of the last official heat wave recorded at Islip. There was a four day stretch from August 29 - September 1 where the high temperature was at least 90 degrees.
