New Yorkers can\u2019t catch a break. <\/p>\n

Treacherous downpours and severe flash flooding are expected to snarl morning and evening commutes across the Big Apple on Monday \u2014 after a weekend of miserable, scorching temperatures and intense thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms and torrential downpours are predicted to drench the five boroughs in up to two inches of rain per hour starting Sunday evening, <\/p>\n

The worst of the heavy rain and flash flooding is expected to slam Monday\u2019s morning commute between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m., though scattered thunderstorms could still cause localized flash flooding into Monday evening.<\/p>\n

A flood watch will be in effect until Tuesday morning, with forecasters warning that intense rainfall could cause severe flooding in low-lying neighborhoods and lead to substantial transportation disruptions.<\/p>\n

A whopping six inches of rain may inundate areas where the storms repeatedly track over the same locations, officials said. <\/p>\n

Intense thunderstorms may also bring powerful wind gusts that can blow down tree limbs and unsecured objects outside.<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani activated the City\u2019s Flash Flood Emergency Plan to mobilize city agencies ahead of the severe weather.<\/p>\n

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Sanitation, and the Department of Transportation have been inspecting and clearing catch basins in flood-prone areas in preparation for the storm.<\/p>\n

Specialized emergency teams and equipment are also positioned throughout the Big Apple to be deployed if conditions deteriorate quickly. <\/p>\n

Mamdani urged New Yorkers to \u201ctake these warnings seriously\u201d and limit travel during peak rainfall.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cNow\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0time for all of us to do our part.\u00a0Limit travel\u00a0if you can, plan for delays,\u00a0and\u00a0take these warnings seriously.\u00a0If\u00a0heavy\u00a0rain\u00a0begins,\u00a0if the\u00a0winds\u00a0pick up, or if\u00a0you hear thunder\u00a0\u2014\u00a0get\u00a0inside and wait out the dangerous conditions,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cCheck on your neighbors, especially\u00a0anyone\u00a0living in\u00a0a\u00a0basement apartment, to\u00a0make\u00a0sure they\u00a0have a plan and the information they need to stay safe.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The severe weather follows a triple-digit heat wave and ferocious heat-fed thunderstorms that slammed the metro area during the Fourth of July weekend festivities.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in New York City\u2019s Central Park hit 100 degrees on Thursday, marking the first time the iconic park has hit triple digits since July 18, 2012.<\/p>\n
