The urban development of New York City means that some parts of the city are hotter than other places, by as much as 10 degrees.
Known as the ‘heat island effect,’ it's why neighborhoods like Midtown Manhattan or Hunts Point in the Bronx feel even more sweltering than other parts of the city.
The built environment includes factors such as tall buildings, narrow streets, dark surfaces, and extensive paved areas, all of which contribute to trapping and intensifying heat.The warning will continue through Saturday, with heat indices reaching over 100 degrees across the area.
