Heat Wave Descends On New York

By Idy Perl

A heat wave is descending on New York this week from Monday through Thursday, with a heat advisory in effect and temperatures expected to reach the 90’s.

Here are a few tips for staying safe in the heat this week:

• Always stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids, especially when spending time outdoors. 

• Wear sunscreen!

• Limit time outdoors in the early afternoon when the sun is the strongest. 

• Never leave children alone in a car as the incredible heat can warm up a vehicle to dangerous temperatures within a few minutes, even when the windows are open. 

Stay safe out there!
