Governor Kathy Hochul today urged New Yorkers to prepare for a multi-day stretch of high outdoor temperatures that will impact the Capital, Mid-Hudson, New York City and Long Island Regions starting today and continuing through Wednesday with feels-like temperatures expected to exceed 100 degrees. On Tuesday, heat advisories are expected to expand across much of the State including the Southern Tier, Mohawk Valley, Central New York, Finger Lakes and Western New York Regions with feels-like temperatures ranging from the low 90s to over 100 degrees. On Wednesday, a few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible ahead of a cold front that will bring several days of cooler, drier, and less humid weather to New York State.

“Extreme heat is dangerous and can be fatal if it is not taken seriously,” Governor Hochul said. “I urge residents to plan ahead to make sure they stay hydrated, to check in with elderly neighbors and locate nearby cooling centers during the next few days.”

Extreme heat is dangerous and is the leading cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States. The most common heat-related illnesses are heat stroke (sun stroke), heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat rash.
