Temperatures in New York City’s Central Park hit 100 degrees for the first time in over a decade as a dangerous heatwave is expected to grip the region through the July 4 holiday. Readings at the park reached a blistering 100 degrees on Thursday afternoon – marking the first time the iconic park has hit triple digits since July 18, 2012, which tied for the hottest day in the city since 1966, according to the National Weather Service and AccuWeather meteorologists. Temperatures at the Manhattan park around this time last year reached 99 degrees.
