As per the Daily News, the H is O:

The heat will be on today, as temperatures are predicted to soar past the 100-degree mark — setting the stage for one of the hottest days in New York history.

The National Weather Service is calling for record highs of 100 to 105 degrees, which would break today’s record of 100 degrees.

It could even approach the city’s all-time high of 106, set back on July 9, 1936.
