A stretch of extreme heat across Long Island will begin starting today.

During this time, temperatures could feel like they're in the triple digits.

Pools and beaches are already expected to be busier, especially with the long weekend for the Fourth of July.

Doctors recommend you drink plenty of extra water, take frequent breaks in an air-conditioned environment, not just the shade and limit strenuous outdoor activities.

Air quality will also be poor throughout the rest of the week.
