After a brief respite of cooler temperatures following the 'heat dome', New Yorkers now have another week of uncomfortable temperatures to contend with.

While the mercury is not set to tip into triple figures like it did last week, the weekend is expected to be a hot one as many residents will hit the streets for the annual Pride Parade – which will take place on Sunday (June 29)

Sunday weather is expected to be mostly sunny with highs near 87°F in Manhattan, meaning that organisers are urging attendees to take the necessary measures to keep themselves cool.

And the first week of July looks to continue the run of warm weather, with largely sunny and hot weather making up the forecast for the week.

Some thundery showers are expected on Tuesday before Wednesday sees a return to form with hot sun and very little cloud cover.

After an unusually wet May– that led to mayor Eric Adams calling the weather 'gross' on his social media– June also started off drizzly and unseasonably cool before record breaking temperatures moved in, as experts predicted.

The heat dome, which blanketed large parts of the eastern and central US, saw New York experiencing sweltering extremes and led to Governor Kathy Hochul declaring a state of emergency.

Hochul initially declared a State of Emergency on June 22. The State of Emergency will remain in place for an entire month, meaning it will end on July 22.

While New York's first heatwave of the season has officially ended, the State of Emergency is remaining in effect until July 22 so that emergency services have enough time to respond to potential damage from thunderstorms and possible additional heat emergencies in early July, according to a spokesperson for Hochul.

The State Emergency Operations Center urged residents to remain alert, avoid flooded roadways, limit outdoor activities during peak heat and sign up for local emergency alerts by texting their county or borough name to 333111.

Experts had long been warning that the city was set for another extremely warm summer, despite the washout spring.

The mixed weather in June was in line with long-range predictions that expected the first month of summer to be average before a buildup of heat in July and August, similar to 2024.

Last year, the city struggled under extreme heat with more 90 degree days than the previous two years combined.

Such temperature extremes can be very dangerous for more vulnerable residents of the city, with people dying from effects of the heat every summer and extreme heat being more dangerous than hurricanes and tornados, nationally, combined.

The predictions for New York's extreme summer mirror those of the rest of the country, where long-range forecasters are expecting a "hotter-than-normal season across large swaths of the United States."

But New Yorkers have extra reason to be wary of extreme temperatures given the city's ability to hold heat and a lack of widespread central air compared to other regions of the country.

It is more common to find window units than central air conditioning, compared to the rest of the country. A significant portion of NYC buildings, particularly older ones, lack the infrastructure for central AC, leading to a greater reliance on window units.

On average, five people die from heat stroke each year in New York City, and most of these deaths are in the home.
