    Extreme Heat Watch - 2:30pm Mon Jun 29 2026

    ...EXTREME HEAT WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...

    WHAT: Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to 109
    possible.

    WHERE: Portions of southern Connecticut, northeast New Jersey,
    and southeast New York.

    WHEN: From Wednesday afternoon through Saturday evening.

    IMPACTS: Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase
    the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those
    working or participating in outdoor activities.

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: This has potential to be a multi-day extreme
    heat event with near record high temperatures and little overnight
    relief. This level of heat can be deadly for those without
    adequate cooling and hydration. Impacts to transportation
    infrastructure and electrical and water systems are also possible.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    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.

    Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has
    air conditioning. If you don't have home air conditioning, continue
    to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for
    a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable
    friends, family members and neighbors.

    To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
    Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
    shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
    should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
    emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
