A dome of high pressure brought a stretch of hot and humid weather resulting in multiple days of heat indices between 95F and 104F degrees across eastern New York between August 4-9, 2022.
On August 4, record high temperatures were set at both Albany and Poughkeepsie, each reaching 99F degrees. Albany and Poughkeepsie also set a new record for the hottest 8-day start to August on record.
