Central Park hits temp last seen this time of year in 1888 as heat wave hits eastern US

New York’s Central Park reached a record high of 96 degrees Monday, which was last seen in 1888. In neighboring New Jersey, 16 people were sent to the emergency room following a sweltering set of graduations. And in Baltimore, a malfunctioning Amtrak train left riders temporarily stranded without air conditioning in the depths of its tunnel system.
