New York, NY – Commuters in New York City will wake up to widespread haze and rising heat Monday, with temperatures expected to climb to 85°F by afternoon. Light winds offer little relief, and air quality could dip during the morning rush as haze lingers until midday.
According to the National Weather Service, haze will be most widespread before 7 a.m., especially over Manhattan and surrounding boroughs, before sunshine returns and winds shift north by mid-morning. Monday night stays warm and muggy with lows near 72°F as south winds pick up slightly after midnight.
By Tuesday, skies clear with mostly sunny conditions and highs near 84°F, but cloud cover returns Tuesday night and lingers into Wednesday. The rest of the week sees a gentle drop in temperatures, with highs settling in the upper 70s to near 80°F and continued overnight lows around 68–72°F. No major storms or heavy rain are expected this week, but humidity and patchy haze could reduce air quality again, particularly during the early morning hours.
Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity during hazy periods and keep windows closed overnight to avoid allergens. Updates on air quality alerts or heat advisories may be issued if conditions worsen through Tuesday.
