It’s the Big Chill in the Big Apple — but don’t expect a white Christmas.

New Yorkers will likely be shivering for the next week or so as real-feel temperatures are expected to remain well below freezing, experts said Monday.

Tuesday’s feels-like temps will plummet to 15 degrees, according to Fox Weather forecasts.

Wednesday will bring a slight brief reprieve with a 44-degree high, but the feels-like temps will remain frigid at 29 degrees.

The temperature will then plunge through the weekend and into next week, with Friday feeling like 22, Sunday like 20 — and Monday a bitter 12.

By next Wednesday, the cold snap is expected to have then broken, and more seasonable December temperatures should return and remain over the following week.

That means New Yorkers shouldn’t be expecting snow to come with Santa this year.

“While this pattern has been cold, it hasn’t been conducive for snow around New York City,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Benz told The Post.

“The chance of a white Christmas remains low for the city, especially with moderating temperatures for the second half of the month.”

That cold-weather trend and timeline — fueled by the polar vortex bringing Arctic air down from the far north — will hold true across the northeast, the northern Midwest from North Dakota to Ohio and as far south as Virginia.

The current cold temperatures are well below average in New York City for this time of the month, but no records have been cracked at this point, according to AccuWeather.

“We haven’t broken any records yet here in New York City, but what makes this unusual is the persistence of this kind of cold this early in the season,” Benz said.

“This air mass is something we’d typically seen in January and not in early December.”

Monday’s temperatures, for example, were about 15-degrees below average for this time of year, while next Monday’s will be nearly 20 degrees lower than the calendar average.

That’s nowhere near the city’s Dec. 15 record low, however, which was set in 1874 at 8-degrees, according to AccuWeather.
