Relief from the heat and humidity scorching the Big Apple is on the hazy horizon — but New Yorkers will have to shvitz through Sunday first.
The city’s temperature climbed to 96 degrees on Saturday — with a blistering “real feel” of 118 degrees. An excessive-heat warning expires at 10 p.m. Sunday.
Saturday marked the 13th day of temps in the 90s this summer in the city, according to AccuWeather. In the same span last year, the mercury reached 90 just seven times.
Sunnier dispositions should kick in as the work week returns.
AccuWeather meteorologist Ed Valle said that Monday — though still in the mid-90s — will be less humid and more comfortable.
New Yorkers looking for a reprieve may want to hail a taxi. Cabdriver “MacGyver” Al-Mamun is helping New Yorkers beat the heat by rigging his front-seat air conditioner with duct tubing to funnel air to passengers in the back.
