Central New York is about to feel like its 100 degrees outside, and your AC bill may feel it, too

Central New York is facing a period of extreme heat, with temperatures expected to climb above 90°F and humidity pushing “feels like” conditions into triple digits. According to WIBX, the most oppressive stretch runs from Tuesday through at least Friday, when highs are forecast in the 90s. The outlet said Tuesday could feel like the upper 90s, followed by apparent temperatures in the low 100s for several days. The article warns that unprotected skin could burn in as little as 20 minutes during peak sun, and it notes heat advisories are possible on multiple days. It also links the weather to broader impacts, including higher air-conditioning use and strain on the grid. With the UV Index expected to remain “very high,” it emphasizes measures that reduce indoor heat buildup and encourage cooling during dangerous conditions, while urging residents to monitor vulnerable neighbors.
