A heat advisory is in effect for New York City Friday as temperatures are expected to hit the high nineties.

According tp the national weather service, from noon through 8:00pm Shabbos evening, indexes are supposed to climb to at least 95 and up to 100 degrees.

Staying hydrated will be a priority for New York City residents.

A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.

Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
