NYC cooling centers to open on Tuesday as heat wave arrives, Mayor Adams says
Officials said the heat index, or what the air temperature feels like when combined with humidity, could reach 100 degrees in the coming days. Zachary Iscol, the city’s emergency management commissioner, called that level “dangerously high” — and potentially deadly.
New Yorkers can find an official map of the cooling centers, including pet-friendly ones, and other heat tips from the cityIscol pointed out that people could take refuge from the heat at the homes of friends, family members or neighbors who have AC.
New York City’s last heat wave took place from Sept. 5 to 8 last year, the emergency management agency said. The city’s longest heat wave happened in 1953, from Aug. 24 to Sept. 4, per the agency. “We want to be clear, this is extremely hot for June, and New Yorkers should not underestimate the heat,” he said. “With climate change leading to more frequent and intense heat, summers are different than they were before, and so we should expect and be prepared for the hot weather that is coming.”
