A prolonged heatwave is expected to grip the New York area this week, potentially pushing temperatures to record highs. According to forecasters, a high-pressure system is dominating the region, bringing with it a mass of warm air from the south. As a result, residents can expect temperatures to soar into the mid-80s to low 90s, with some areas possibly reaching triple digits. The sweltering conditions are likely to make it feel like a typical summer day, even though it's still several weeks before the official start of the season.
