The Big Apple is about to get baked and battered by “oppressive” humidity.
New York City is poised for its first official heat wave of the summer this week, or three or more consecutive days where temperatures reach at least 90 degrees.
The three [hottest days] are going to be Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the peak heat expected on Friday,” said Mathieu Blue, a Fox Weather Center meteorologist.
“Wednesday is a wild card. It could [also] hit 90,” Blue said.
“Humidity will increase as we head towards the weekend as well, and humidity combined with the heat is what causes the oppression, basically,” the weather expert said.

“Just stay indoors, stay in air conditioning, obviously stay hydrated, it’s really important, especially if you’re outdoors for any length of time — that you have a bottle of water on you and you’re staying as hydrated as possible,” Blue said.
