It'll feel like more than 100 degrees for a second straight day as stifling heat continues to sear the tri-state, Storm Team 4 says.
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory through 6 p.m. Highs in New York City could top 92 degrees, but the heat index could climb into the triple-digits, according to Storm Team 4. Humidity will continue to stick around and parts of central New Jersey are under air quality advisories because of the poor conditions.

Monday's blistering heat comes a day after the hottest day of the year was recorded in the five boroughs and much of the rest of the region. Temperatures topped 93 degrees in Central Park Sunday as the heat index climbed to an intolerable 105 degrees.
Newark, meanwhile, saw the hottest temperatures, as the mercury climbed to 98 degrees.

The city has opened cooling centers through Monday for those who don't have access to air conditioning. To find the nearest cooling center, call 311 or click here.
Consolidated Edison is asking customers in several Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods, including Richmond Hill, Woodhaven, Ozone Park, South Ozone Park, Kew Gardens, Lindenwood, Howard Beach and Broad Channel, to conserve energy while company crews work to repair equipment problems. The utility also reduced voltage by 8 percent in those areas as a precaution.

Con Edison has asked customers in those neighborhoods not to use appliances such as washers, dryers, air conditioners and other energy-intensive equipment and to turn off lights and televisions when not needed until the cable/equipment problems are resolved.
An approaching front Tuesday will bring slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels, but it won't offer too much relief from the heat, Storm Team 4 says. Temperatures are expected to be in the 90s in the city and northern New Jersey, which would make three straight days of at least 90-degree temperatures and mark the first heat wave of the season for those areas.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS:

Stay out of the sun -- avoid extreme temperature changes.
Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors reflect some of the sun’s energy.
Drink fluids -- particularly water -- even if you do not feel thirsty. Your body needs water to keep cool. (Those on fluid-restricted diets or taking diuretics should first consult their physician.)
Water is the safest liquid to drink during heat emergencies. Avoid beverages containing alcohol and/or caffeine.
Eat small, frequent meals.
Avoid strenuous activity, especially during the sun’s peak hours -- 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m.
If possible, go to an air-conditioned building for several hours during the hottest parts of the day.
New York City may open cooling centers around the five boroughs when temperatures reach dangerous levels. When cooling centers do open, call 311 or go to nyc.gov/oem to find the nearest center.
Cool down with a cool bath or shower.
Participate in activities that will keep you cool, such as going to the movies, shopping at a mall, or swimming at a pool or beach.
Cover all exposed skin with an SPF sunscreen (15 or above); wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and head.
Never leave your children or pets in the car.
