New York City — An unseasonably warm spring has gripped New York City, with temperatures soaring to a record-breaking 92°F on May 2, the highest for this date since records began in 1870. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory as the sweltering conditions are expected to continue through the weekend.
City officials urged residents to stay hydrated and check on vulnerable neighbors, particularly the elderly. Cooling centers have been set up across the five boroughs, with the Department of Emergency Management distributing thousands of bottles of water.
Meteorologists attribute the early heatwave to an unusual atmospheric pressure system trapping warm air over the region, a phenomenon intensified by climate change.
