A heat wave hit the Philadelphia region on Friday, with temperatures reaching nearly 100 degrees.is expected to kick off Monday with an expected high of 90 degrees and will run through at least Saturday, according Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service at Mount Holly.
Temperatures are expected to rise gradually throughout the week, with the “worst of it” coming Thursday through Saturday, said Johnson. Temperatures are predicted to kiss 100 degrees on Thursday and Friday, but humidity will likely make it feel much, much hotter.The weather service has issued a heat advisory for Philadelphia and the surrounding counties through Wednesday, and an excessive heat watch has been extended through Saturday night. The city has yet to declare a heat emergency.
The city’s has designated 14 libraries as cooling centers for the summer, but they only act in that role What makes this hot spell particularly notable, said Johnson, is its persistence: The highs are very high, and the lows — well — aren’t actually low. Monday night’s low is forecast to be in the sensible 60s. After that, they will hover in the mid-70s.“There’s not going to be a lot of relief,” said Johnson. “And it’s pretty early in the season, so people aren’t quite acclimated to the heat.”, making this the city’s longest stretch without breaking the triple digits in over a century.
