Both New York and Washington are expected to face extreme heat and humidity over the weekend, with temperatures reaching record highs. Heat advisories are in place in both cities due to high humidity levels. The heat is causing energy demand to surge, leading to voltage reductions in parts of Queens by Con Edison. The high temperatures are also affecting transportation systems, with delays on Amtrak and New Jersey Transit. Relief is expected next week as high pressure in the eastern US begins to ease, but the forecast predicts above-average temperatures for July.
