Wednesday begins one of the most dangerous stretches of extreme heat our city has seen in years, with the heat index potentially into the triple digits by afternoon. And it does not let up, the heat builds day after day into the weekend, and it will barely cool down at night. That is what makes this kind of event so risky. Do not wait. Find a cool option now, any public or private space with air conditioning, like a library, a mall, a friend's place, or a city cooling center. Find one near you at https://t.co/04ULpqxfIY.

Check in on older neighbors, relatives, and anyone living without AC. Here is how Wednesday will feel hour by hour, and what to do at each step to stay safe.

An extreme heat watch is coming for NYC starting on Wednesday 7/1 through this weekend. Extreme heat is dangerous, but you can protect yourself. Most heat-related deaths in NYC happen indoors without A/C. 

This summer, let’s protect each other: 

☀️ Share cool options 
☀️ Check on older adults + neighbors 
☀️ Take breaks & hydrate if you work outside

🛒 Get your errands done before Wednesday. The heat builds Wednesday through the weekend, with the heat index in the triple digits, so take care of what you can today or tomorrow while it is still mild.

Visit a grocery store or food pantry to stock up, and get your prescriptions sorted so you are not making a pharmacy run in the worst of the heat. 💊

Handling it now means you can stay cool during the hottest days instead of carrying bags through the heat. If you do have to go out once it is hot, plan it for early morning or later in the evening, skip the late morning through early evening stretch when it is hottest, and bring water 💧 with you. 🧊 A grocery store, library, or mall also doubles as a Cool Option if you need to step into the air conditioning for a while.

NYCEM coordinates the city's heat response so New Yorkers can plan ahead and ride out the heat safely at home or at a cooling center. Make your plan now and be ready to put it into action Wednesday. Find Cool Options and cooling centers across all five boroughs at https://t.co/04ULpqxfIY

In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day may be counted even if they arrive after Election Day, provided state law permits it.

Writing for the majority in Watson, Mississippi Secretary of State v. Republican National Committee (RNC), Justice Amy Coney Barrett concluded that federal law does not require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day.

Barrett was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Sonia Sotomayor.

More than 41% of respondents in a new Military Family Advisory Network study said they experienced low or very low food security in 2025 — up from 16% in 2023.

That is nearly 3x the nationwide rate of food insecurity in 2024.

Another 'oh-so-wonderful' study on #PFAS - the critical challenge to global public health crisis & environment, "robust evidence points to severe systemic toxicities", as well as failure to stop the regrettable short chain substitutes. Freaking great...
