Humidity is the main story
Princeton is starting out quite humid, with a dew point of 73F and relative humidity at 74%. The air temperature is 82F, but it feels like 88F. Winds are at 5 mph, with gusts up to 17 mph, and the sky is clear.
That muggy setup will make the heat feel more intense as sunshine continues. Even without much rain in the forecast, the combination of high humidity and temperatures near the upper 90s will be noticeable for anyone spending time outside.
