CBS News New York's Tony Sadiku has the latest weather forecast.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live access to current feeds in this moment, but I can summarize what “extreme heat watch” typically means and point you to reliable sources for the latest updates.
What an “Extreme Heat Watch” usually indicates
- It is issued when dangerous, high-heat conditions are possible in the near term, often with heat index values reaching or exceeding 110°F (43°C) for at least 48 hours in the affected areas. This is an early warning to prepare for potentially life-threatening heat, including heat-related illnesses.
- The watch implies you should monitor forecasts closely, minimize outdoor activity during peak heat, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable people (children, elderly, those with medical conditions) and pets.
- If the situation escalates, a subsequent Extreme Heat Warning or Excessive Heat Warning may be issued to indicate that dangerous conditions are expected or already occurring.
Where to get the latest, authoritative updates
- National Weather Service (U.S.) or your local meteorological service: look for current watches/warnings and any heat advisories for your region.
- Local and national weather apps, trusted news outlets with dedicated weather teams, and official government pages often provide the latest alerts and safety guidance.
- Cooling shelter locations and heat-safety tips are commonly posted by city or state emergency management offices during events.
