NYC Prepares for Historic Heat Wave | New York City News
Description
New York City braces for its first major heat wave of summer, with triple-digit temps expected for three straight days—potentially hitting 105°F by Friday. With last year’s heat wave claiming 19 lives, officials are urging extreme caution, especially for seniors and those with health issues. Stay cool indoors or in shaded outdoor spots, and head to one of the city’s dozens of open cooling centers across all five boroughs. For those without access, malls, museums, and cafes offer refuge. Stay hydrated, wear light clothes, and avoid overloading the power grid by setting ACs to 78°F. Water conservation measures, including capped fire hydrants on open streets, will also be in place as the city prepares for a surge of visitors during major events.
