Second heatwave of Summer

Long Islanders on Tuesday will face another hot and humid day.  The National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory for the Long Island area with temperatures expected to top 90 degrees.  WALK Meteorologist Pat Pagano said that if temperatures top 90 on Tuesday, “we could have our second official heatwave of the 2020 season”.  Pagano also said, “temperatures topped 95 on Monday at Islip MacArthur airport and reached 90 on Sunday”.  He noted that water temperatures are also “higher than normal for this time of year, which could potentially set us up for a rough hurricane season”.  On Tuesday, ocean temperatures at Fire Island were recorded at 80 degrees.  74 degree water temperatures were recorded at Montauk.  The Heat Advisory is in effect until 8pm on Tuesday.
