heat wave

I’m wondering if the opening day for (at least a portion of) Philly’s 239 schools and nearly 200,000 students may be affected by a bit of a surprising reason.

Hey there, New Jersey! The heat wave is here, and it's not just stopping by our area; it's going on a cross-country tour, making people everywhere sweat like never before! Arizona and Texas are sizzling at a whopping 105 to 115 degrees, and now it's our turn to feel the heat at nearly 100 degrees, and that's not even counting the heat index, making it feel even toastier...

As exterior temperatures rise gradually, that of vehicle equipment spikes "exponentially," and can create evaporation that may, over time, compromise car batteries.

The heat wave is expected to be intense and dangerous the next few days. Here are the cooling centers at the Jersey Shore for some relief:

Who Has the Best Iced Coffee in Ocean County? It's going to feel like 100 on Tuesday, so a perfect day for a cup of iced coffee! Summer is a great season for your favorite coffee on the rocks. Iced coffee and "cold brews" have become hugely popular over the last several years and millions love cold coffee.

If you take a daily break at noon to let the hottest part of the summer day peak, you're doing it wrong. Here's why:

It's official, we're looking down the barrel of a heat wave. It will be hot, humid, muggy, and just generally unpleasant all around. But you know what? I'll take it.

The heat is on this weekend with temperatures in the 90s and high humidity combing to make for a heat index of over 100.

Mercury eclipsing 90. Heat index adding about 10 more degrees. Thunderstorms dry up almost as soon as they reach the pavement. Welcome to the dog days of summer. Now, where do you go to escape the searing heat?

As we get set for a third straight day of temperatures in the mid 90s with high levels of humidity, it's downright uncomfortable to walk the dog or just take the garbage out - but imagine what it's like to work in this kind of heat all day long.
