New York City will flirt with record heat on Wednesday when the temperature is set to reach 32 Celsius, just one degree shy of a level that’s only been hit five times on this date in 150 years. If the mercury reaches 90 on October 2, it will tie a record last felt in 1927.
The heat is being driven by a high pressure ridge across the eastern US, part of a see-saw effect that’s also seeing a winter storm and frigid cold race across the west. More than three feet of snow fell on Montana, where Governor Steve Bullock declared a winter storm emergency.
In New York, average high temperatures hover around 69 to 70 degrees for early October.
