Northeastern US Braces For Extended Heat Wave, Southeast Swelters In Steam

Part of the New York city metro area will also experience its first heat wave of the summer, especially in the northern and western suburbs, which will be away from any cooling sea breeze. ACCUWEATHER

An extended period of hot and humid conditions is in store for the northeastern United States while the Southeast will remain in a steamy pattern for many days, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

The lengthy period of hot and humid weather is right on cue for early July. This pattern will make for some great days on the beach, at campsites and for outdoor activities that don’t require a great deal of physical exertion. The hot stretch will also lead to an uptick in energy demands as fans and air conditioners kick into high gear. Experts advise people to seek a cool environment when possible and to stay hydrated.
