Temperature in New York City reaches 100 degrees as eastern US swelters under extreme heat wave
The temperature in New York City reached 100 degrees Tuesday as the eastern U.S. sweltered under an extreme heat wave.
Kennedy International Airport recorded 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) at midday, according to the National Weather Service.
Large swaths of the country were broiling under a heat dome, worsened by a humid atmosphere that's circling the East.
After nearly 40 US cities broke record high marks Monday, the weather service expected dozens of records Tuesday when the heat dome should hit its peak.
But just as dangerous as triple digit heat is the lack of cooling at night, driven by that humidity.

Terrifying new video shows 10ft waves after 'freak storm' shook Lake Tahoe leaving EIGHT dead
Eight people were killed on the California side of Lake Tahoe when a sudden, violent storm struck without warning - unleashing 10-foot waves, pounding hail, and torrential rain that capsized their boat. Ten boaters aboard a 27-foot gold Chris-Craft vessel set out to Lake Tahoe Saturday afternoon, eager to enjoy a sun-drenched day on the water for a birthday celebration, as reported by ABC 7 News. But the day turned deadly when an unexpected, powerful storm exploded over the lake, capsizing their boat without warning - an apocalyptic scene captured in stomach-churning video footage. Tragically, eight people were killed in the disaster: Paula Bozinovich, 71, Terry Pickles, 73, Joshua Antony Pickles, 37, Peter Bayes, 72, Timothy O'Leary, 71, Theresa Giullari, 66, James Guck, 69 and Stephen Lindsay, 63. 'It's the worst situation I've seen on the lake,' South Lake Tahoe Mayor Tamara Wallace told the Los Angeles Times, describing it as an 'unspeakable tragedy.' On Saturday morning, the conditions outside were perfect for a carefree weekend outing - clear skies, gentle breezes and steadily rising temperatures. Despite a slight chance of rain and thunderstorms - a common occurrence for seasoned boaters - hundreds still took to the water that day. However, around 2 pm, something shifted - some boaters spotted whitecaps forming on the water, while others noticed the wind suddenly picking up, blowing fiercely from the north, as reported by the LA Times. From that moment, conditions rapidly deteriorated, turning a calm day into a desperate race against time and nature - as relentless waves, hurricane-force winds, snow, and hail engulfed the lake within minutes. 'It felt like we were in a tsunami that was starting,' Brittany Glick, who was on a pontoon celebrating a bachelorette party, told NPR. 'I had never experienced anything like that.' Terrifying video footage from the storm showed dozens of boats battling the fierce, churning waters - crashing into each other as they struggled to withstand the intense power of the waves. Some vessels broke free from their moorings, while others sank or crashed into nearby piers. Several buoys were also washed ashore, according to the LA Times. 'It was a lot of helping people,' Wallace added, as reported by the outlet. But before many could reach shore amid the chaos, several boats capsized, hurling passengers into the raging, churning waters. 'We were shaken up seeing all the boats flipped,' Glick said, as reported by NPR. 'And being drenched in that water, we were so cold. We were shaking uncontrollably. Our feet were numb, and our toes were turning blue.' 'That was probably one of the scariest moments I've had in my 30 years,' she added. 'The storm came in so quick. It was terrifying.' 🚨 "HOLY SH*T!!" WHAT THE HELL JUST HIT LAKE TAHOE? A massive freak storm out of nowhere - snow, hail, 10-foot waves, and hurricane-force winds in late June. Boats capsizing and crashing into each other, 6 dead, 2 missing. This wasn't weather… it was a f*cking strike. — HustleBitch (@HustleBitch_) June 23, 2025 At around 3pm, multiple people reported seeing 10 people in the water after their boat capsized, while waves in the area at the time were around eight-feet high, according to a news release from the El Dorado Sheriff's Office. Both the sheriff's office and the Coast Guard swiftly responded to the shores of D.L. Bliss State Park, where officials successfully rescued two people who had been aboard the ten-person boat. Tragically, six bodies were recovered from the water shortly after capsizing. The two survivors - one of whom swam to shore - were transported to a local hospital in unknown condition, as reported by The Sacramento Bee. The following afternoon, a seventh victim was found, and on Monday afternoon, the final missing boater was discovered deceased - bringing the death toll to eight. Among those who lost their lives was 37-year-old DoorDash executive Josh Pickles, along with his parents - 73-year-old Terry Pickles and 71-year-old Paula Bozinovich, ABC 7 reported. Two other victims were also from California: Josh Pickles' uncle, 72-year-old Peter Bayes, and 71-year-old Timothy O'Leary. 'This is a terrible heartbreaking tragedy that took the lives of Joshua Pickles, his father Terry, his mother Paula, his uncle Peter as well as friends and family, all of whom were out on the lake celebrating the 71st birthday of his mother,' Sam Singer, a family spokesperson, told ABC. 'The family has homes in the Bay Area as well as on Lake Tahoe,' he added. 'They love the lake. That adds to the tragedy that has occurred.' The three remaining victims - 66-year-old Theresa Giullari, 69-year-old James Guck and 63-year-old Stephen Lindsay - were visiting from New York. But even boaters who managed to reach shore during the storm weren't out of danger - many suffered after falling into the frigid water, which remained below 60 degrees throughout the day, LA Times reported. 'There was just a massive amount of people that were in hypothermia or shock,' Joby Cefalu, a lifelong Tahoe boater, told the outlet. Cefalu, along with marina staff and local residents, quickly set up a makeshift triage area, working tirelessly for nearly two hours to assist at least 60 people in need. 'I'm on the water a great deal of days of the year... I've been in just about every type of condition, and that was just something I've never seen happen so fast,' he said. 'It was just a tragic day on Lake Tahoe.' The storm even caught forecasters off guard, with meteorologist Matthew Chyba of the National Weather Service in Nevada admitting, 'We weren't expecting it to be so strong.' A nearby weather station recorded wind speeds reaching 45 mph during the disaster, while meteorologists now attribute the extreme conditions to the convergence of an unseasonal cold front and a cluster of thunderstorms, The Sacramento Bee reported. Saturday's storm, which cleared out within two hours, marks the deadliest boating incident in California since 2019.

Boca Juniors draw with Auckland City, exit Club World Cup
June 24 (Reuters) - Boca Juniors were held to a 1-1 draw by Auckland City and failed to reach the knockout stage of the Club World Cup on Tuesday in steamy Nashville, Tennessee, where the match was suspended for nearly 50 minutes due to stormy weather. Boca came into the game needing both a convincing win against already-eliminated Auckland City to overturn a seven-goal difference with Benfica and for the Portuguese club to lose to German champions Bayern Munich in the other Group C fixture. Auckland City had just drawn level shortly after the break when lightning in the area forced players off the field. By the time play resumed, Benfica had secured a 1-0 win to qualify top of Group C and reach the last 16 along with Bayern. Boca went ahead in the first half courtesy of an own goal by Auckland City goalkeeper Nathan Garrow while Christian Gray drew his side level in the 52nd minute with a header that sailed inside the right post.

Players and fans at the Club World Cup are coping with high temperatures as a heat wave hits US
Substitutes who watch from the locker room, abandoned practice sessions and sweat-soaked jerseys. A heat wave hitting a wide swath of the country is taking a toll on players at the FIFA Club World Cup. The grueling conditions could also be a preview of what's to come next summer when the United States, Canada and Mexico host soccer's premier event, the 2026 World Cup. "It's impossible, it's terribly hot. My toes were sore, even my toenails were hurting, I couldn't stop or start. In the end, it's incredible, but since it's the same for everyone, there's no excuse," Atlético's Marcos Llorente said following a match against Paris Saint-Germain. A 'heat dome' of high pressure has settled in over the central and eastern United States, sending temperatures soaring into the 90s in Fahrenheit and above in many areas. That's rough on both Club World Cup players and fans, who can potentially experience dehydration and cramps, or more serious conditions like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. 'In Europe it's more of a dry heat and this is more of a humid heat. I think it's going to hit them twice as hard," fan Tyler Fernando said before Bayern Munich's match against Benfica on Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the temperature was 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36 Celsius) at game time. Those at the Auckland City match against Boca Juniors in Nashville on Tuesday braved temperatures in the upper 90s. Male spectators went shirtless and fans sought sections where there was shade. Heat is of particular concern during big tournaments like the Club World Cup because the players don't have much time off to recover between games. And in the group stages, matches are usually staggered each day, meaning some teams play in the midday sun. Chelsea cut short a practice session in Philadelphia, where temperatures reached the 90s. "I always try to avoid excuse, I always try to be honest. It's not about excuses, it's about reality. It's an excuse when it's not hot, and we say it's hot. That's an excuse. But if it's hot, it's hot. But we are here, and we're trying to do our best,' Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said. During a match between Borussia Dortmund and the Mamelodi Sundowns, Dortmond posted on social media: 'Our subs watched the first half from inside the locker room to avoid the blazing sun at TQL Stadium — never seen that before, but in this heat, it absolutely makes sense.' 'We always think about how we can help the team, how we can minimize a negative influence. And it was just very, very hot. We had cooling sticks in order to cool the players down. We had them waiting in the dressing room with the air conditioning,' Dortmond coach Niko Kovac said through an interpreter. 'This was very important for all of us. It's not only about tactics, but it's also about minimizing the load, minimizing the stress. The stress is already high enough." FIFA guidelines mandate breaks when the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature — a composite of factors including temperature and humidity — reaches 89.6 degrees. The breaks usually occur around the 30th and 75th minutes. Cooling breaks were initially used at the 2008 Olympic final between Lionel Messi's Argentina and Nigeria at Beijing's National Stadium, where the on-field temperature reached 107 degrees. But at the time, such breaks were rare. They became more commonplace following the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where a Brazilian labor court ordered hydration breaks when the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature reached 89.6 degrees. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue went to social media to urge Club World Cup fans to exercise caution in the heat before Inter Miami's match against Palmeiras on Monday night, and Chelsea posted 'heat mitigation' guidelines on its official website before the Blues' match against Esperance on Tuesday. It's not just high temperatures that can impact summer tournaments: Five Club World Cup matches have been delayed by thunderstorms. The climate is going to be an increasing issue for FIFA as global temperatures rise. Sixteen cities will host World Cup games next year. Five of the stadiums that will be used have roofs to provide some sun protection. At Mexico's venues, Mexico City and Guadalajara could be impacted by the summer's hurricane season, and in Monterrey, summer temperatures average in the 90s. After the the 2026 World Cup, the 2030 edition will be held in Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. And the problem isn't just on the men's side: The 2027 Women's World Cup is set to be played in Brazil. Peter Crisp from Fossil Free Football said: 'Scheduling matches in no-shade stadiums in the middle of the day and promoting oil-dependent sponsors shows FIFA is dangerously out of touch with the threat extreme heat poses to its major summer tournaments' ___
