Mayor Eric Adams said Monday that the Big Apple is ready for its first heat wave of the year — but reminded city dwellers to prepare for a string of steamy days that could push the heat index up to nearly 100 degrees.
“A heat wave can be more than just uncomfortable,” Adams said at a morning press conference. “It can be deadly and life-threatening if you are not prepared. But New York City has a plan to beat the heat, and we want all New Yorkers to have a plan, too.”
Hizzoner urged New Yorkers to work slowly and taking frequent breaks if outdoors, wearing a hat, finding shade and doing “whatever is possible to keep your body temperature down.”

CT maximum 93 on Friday, then a shower. other days max 89 to 91. The previous record for Friday June 21 around here is 99. It’s not much of a heat wave. I think the problem is that if your business model involves selling advertising space on a website that tells you the weather, and the weather seems normal, no one looks at the website. so Weather.com and others have to hype the weather.

“99 degrees “ HEAT INDEX which is taking temperature and adding in humidity to make a bigger number. Very stupid.

There is no hot like NYC hot! Been there, burned through that.
The NYC heat is among the worst I have ever experienced. It must be from the heating up of the sidewalks and roads.
No A/C? I assume the North East is like France, many people don’t have any cooling.
The 2003 heatwave “About 15,000 people died due to the heat in France. Temporary mortuaries were set up in refrigeration lorries. There were also heat-related deaths in the UK (2,000), Portugal (2,100), Italy (3,100), Holland (1,500) and Germany (300).”
Better kick out everyone in hotels and public housing to put up the illegals. The illegals must not face the least bit of inconvenience or lack any comfort.
Mayor Adams says NYC is ‘ready’ for first heat wave of the season.
Meanwhile in Montana and surrounding areas a winter storm warning is given snowing.
Are New Yorkers really so stupid they need to be told this drivel?
NYC is too humid for swamp coolers to work very well..
