Good morning! NYC is under a Heat Advisory from the National Weather Service today, June 25. This is dangerous, potentially deadly heat. In past years, extreme heat has been the city’s deadliest weather emergency. It has been linked to 500+ deaths each year, most in homes without air conditioning. The heat index will rise fast and stay high into the night: 9 AM: Feels like 90°F 12 PM: Feels like 98°F🔥 1–2 PM peak: Feels like 100°F 🔥🔥🔥 5–7 PM: Feels like 97–98°F🔥 10 PM: Still feels like 91°F If you don’t have AC, it may feel hotter inside than outside. Homes can trap heat overnight. That puts real strain on your body, compounded with the effects of heat from the past few days. Hydrate early. Conserve energy. Check on neighbors. Don’t wait to cool down. Find your nearest Cooling Center or Cool Option: NYC.gov/BeatTheHeat or call 311.
