Dangerous Heat Conditions
A Heat Advisory is currently in effect for Princeton, highlighting dangerous heat conditions that residents should monitor closely. The air temperature has reached 97F, but the combination of heat and humidity means it feels like 110F. This oppressive sensation is driven by a dew point of 75F and relative humidity at 50%.
The sky remains clear, with winds blowing from the south at 11 mph and gusting to 12 mph. These conditions create a significant risk for heat-related illness, particularly during the afternoon hours when the heat index peaks.
