Answer 13

The reason for the recent hot spell is a large area of high pressure over the SE called a Bermuda High, which has slowly moved toward the NE, including NYC. The Bermuda High is an area of high pressure that features mostly clear weather, but also a high degree of direct sunshine that heats the air significantly. Until the high dissipates, it will tend to force small cool fronts (and rain) around it's perimeter, but it will eventually dissipate.

Answer 14

omg i know

i am loving this weather!

Answer 15

Global Warming! haha.

People say its normal to have a really hot year sometimes and that the weather will get back to normal. Isn't it something like we go 4 years then have an off year or something like that?

Or you could just blame Bush...

Answer 16

ok, it's worse here. i'm in philippines, and it 30- 50 degrees! omg when i got out from and air-conditioned room i could almost feel the heat wave!

even when you're standing real still, in a few minutes you'd be sweating non stop!

it's because of global warming. i hear my brother shouting "it's so hot" at this minute!

Answer 17

My gosh, I know!  I can't even step outside my apartment on Long Island without feeling like I'm going to pass out!  I'm not sure why we got struck with a heat wave so early in the season, but it's supposed to start cooling down after the thunderstorms this evening and tomorrow's high is 86.  Today the high is 92.  

My advice.  Stay indoors.  Don't work too hard.  Drink lots of water.  And if you must go out, wear sunblock.  My husband's an electrician and he almost had to be hospitalized yesterday for dehydration.  

Take care

Answer 26

Dunno if you subscribe to the theory, but global warming explains a number of things happening worldwide, including the above-average temperatures in many of the major cities worldwide.

Abnormal droughts, floods, weather events, the rising sea level, glacial retreat, even seemingly random things like the disappearance of honey bees (Colony Collapse Disorder) and the appearance of mosquitoes in new areas are often attributed, at least in part, to global warming.

Wiki isn't the end-all of references, but it's an easy start and informative read and will give you ideas on where to go next -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warm...

With the increased fuel costs added onto the record high temperatures, some people are worried about an especially rough summer. We might even see some riots if the rising energy costs force rolling brownouts in major cities.
