A heat wave begins today, bringing dangerously high temperatures across New York City.
Today we'll see heat index hit as high as 105 degrees and a chance of isolated thunderstorms beginning this afternoon.
Take a few minutes this morning to make a heat plan by visiting https://t.co/Iqa7gXBq7R. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Planning to spend time in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible.
• Locating your nearest cooling center by visiting https://t.co/H15g2T3qWX or calling 311.
• Avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest hours.
• Learning the signs of heat illness.
• Calling 311 if you see someone experiencing homelessness who may need assistance.
Then, do what New Yorkers do best: look out for one another.
Check on older adults, people with disabilities, neighbors with chronic illnesses, and anyone who may not have access to air conditioning. A simple phone call or knock on the door could save a life.
