"It's really hot. It's like really aggressive," said Gabriella Gonzalez of Mount Laurel, N.J.
"I basically use my air conditioning full tilt on these really hot days," said Manuel Driggs of West Berlin, N.J.
And the excessive heat has meant extra call volume for AAA's towing service this week.
"Everybody has their AC on. Engines are working hard, so therefore a lot of cars are breaking down," said fleet supervisor Terrell Boozer. "A lot of rubber hoses are bursting from the heat. Belts. It's even tough on our equipment."
It's not just tough on cars, but on the roadways themselves.
The bridge on Route 30 in Atlantic City was stuck in the open position for several hours on Tuesday and underwent emergency repairs due to the excessive heat, according to NJDOT. It's back open now.
Trains are affected, too.
SEPTA limits maximum train speeds when the temperatures rise above 90 degrees, and track inspections are added when temperatures reach 95 degrees.
NJ Transit is also monitoring the rails for any heat-related issues.
"Train tracks expand," said Jana Tidwell of AAA. "The overhead wires tend to expand and then tend to drag and dip down a little bit, forcing trains, trolleys, buses to slow down their speeds because they can't go at the high rate of speed that they typically would."
She says flights have been affected too, from storms popping up during the heat wave. No matter how you're traveling, she says, plan ahead.
"If you're a commuter. Make sure you check in advance that the buses, the trains are on time," said Tidwell.
We also checked in with PATCO. Officials say things are running normally, with crews on alert for any problems that could happen during high temperatures.
