Summer started early this year with a burst of scorching temperatures normally seen in August — but a springtime chill will be back soon, with rain soaking the holiday weekend in New York City.

Temperatures topped out around 92 degrees Fahrenheit in Central Park Tuesday, with a real-feel hovering somewhere around a sweltering 102 degrees, according to AccuWeather.

Wednesday is expected to just top those temps with a high of 93 degrees — prompting the city’s Emergency Management to issue advisories for “extreme heat” through the evening.

The steamy temps follow a warm weekend, where sunny skies brought highs around 79 degrees on Saturday, 86 degrees on Sunday and 88 degrees on Monday.

But the weather doesn’t technically constitute a heatwave, according to AccuWeather, which explained three consecutive days at 90 or above were required to qualify.

And despite New Yorkers’ sticky commutes, the less-than-comfortable weather is not an anomaly in May.

“This kind of heat is not out of the question for this time of the year,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Matt Benz told The Post. “The all-time May record high temperature was recorded on this date in 1962 when the temperature reached 99 degrees.”

“Since this won’t go down as a heat wave for NYC, I would say it is not out of the ordinary, especially since we have not broken any records,” he added. “The earliest heat wave on record for NYC occurred from April 16th-18th of 2002.”

The sunshine isn’t expected to last. Memorial Day weekend is predicted to be more like early April than the unofficial start of summer.

Wednesday’s sunshine will give way to thunderstorms. Thursday and Friday are forecast to be partly cloudy, with temperatures topping out around 65 degrees, while lows will be as cool as 51.

Occasional showers on Friday will give way to steady periods of rain and a high of 58 degrees on Saturday, with similar rainfall continuing through Sunday, while temps will reach about 66 degrees.

The rain is expected to move out by Monday and be replaced by overcast skies and temps around 70 — with the warmth and sunshine rolling back in time for the work week, which will be in the mid-70s with partly cloudy skies.
