NYC May Be in the Middle of Longest Heat Wave Since 2002

New York City is on track for the longest heat wave since 2002, according to the National Weather Service. The city is in the middle of an eight-day heat streak that began last Thursday and isn’t expected to let up until Friday… "There has been no break for the air conditioners," said David Robinson, a climatologist at Rutgers University. While it’s not unusual for the mercury to spike this time of year, he said temperatures for the past week have been about five degrees hotter than normal. "It’s like adding insult to injury," he said.
