For several hours during the afternoon and early evening this weekend, RealFeel Temperatures can top 110 in urban locations of the major I-95 cities.
AccuWeather Global Weather Center – July 21, 2022 – A dangerous and extended heat wave with 90-degree heat is gripping the northeastern United States as if right on cue for the dog days of summer. Record-challenging heat will not only persist straight through the weekend in major cities up and down the Eastern Seaboard, but temperatures may also climb to levels that haven’t been felt for 10 years in some locations, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
By Sunday, some 160 million Americans are expected to experience an AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperature of 100 degrees or higher, the AccuWeather forecasting team cautioned.
Heat advisories were in effect along the East Coast, including from New York City into Philadelphia, where temperatures rose to yearly highs Wednesday. In the Big Apple, temperatures climbed to 95 degrees, beating out the previous mark by two degrees, set with a high of 93 on May 31. Philadelphia scorched even further, reaching 96 degrees, equalling the 96 high set on May 31 and June 17.
High temperatures are expected to reach 90 degrees and higher in the two cities, as well as Boston, for several days through at least this weekend.
