For the many New Yorkers who don’t have any sort of A/C units in their homes, what are the options for them to keep cool during the dangerous heat? We have all the info you need on cooling centers, pools, spray features and more
"This is not our first heat wave and, with climate change accelerating, it won't be our last," said New York City Mayor Eric Adams."Over and over again, we're experiencing what we have not witnessed in the past in this region and we need to be clear when we talk about hot weather. Heat kills more New Yorkers every year than any other kind of extreme weather event."
If cooling centers aren't your thing, the city's public pools have extended their hours as well. City pools will be open one hour longer, until 8:00 p.m., on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the mayor said.

There are also 14 miles of beaches in New York City, according to the Parks Department, which this year will be open until Sept. 10. Swimming is allowed when lifeguards are on duty, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day.Of course, there is also the time-honored NYC tradition of using fire hydrants to keep cool — but city residents are not allowed to open a hydrant on their own. Instead, they can request a spray cap be added to a hydrant by a local firehouse.
