heat wave

With high temperatures expected to reach 90 or above for the next several days, the Broome County Health Department is encouraging people to seek some relief at "cooling centers."

Just as certain conditions must be present in the winter for a storm to be an actual blizzard, not all hot weather events qualify as a heat wave.

A heat advisory will be in effect for the Binghamton region for at least three days.

Heat is the biggest weather-related killer and Governor Andrew Cuomo is urging residents to protect and brace themselves ahead of the anticipated heat wave.
