As of 3 p.m. today, Newark Liberty International Airport hit 103 degrees, thus breaking a 60-year record of 102 degrees back in 1966.

With the heat came the smothering humidity. The combination of heat and moisture in the air makes your body work harder to cool itself. Therefore, it feels hotter.

I have seen some feels-like temperatures around the state well over 115 degrees. Please be extra cautious in this intense heat wave. Check on the elderly family members and neighbors. It will remain well into the 90s even after the sun has gone down for hours.
