A Heat Wave Coming?

It’s possible with summer coming up, and above average temperatures increasingly likely based on the latest predictions, Albany may hit 100 degrees — the first time that’s happened in more then 65 years.

Albany has not had 100 degree day since the August 27 – September 5, 1953 heat wave — the longest heat wave at 10 days long in Albany’s history. During the heat wave we had two days that it reached 100 degrees — September 2nd and 3rd.
