🌡️ Round two, New York. Friday is the last hot day of this stretch, with the heat index peaking near 97°F (36°C) in the late afternoon. The Heat Advisory stays in effect and lifts at 8 PM tonight. Keep finding a cool option, meaning 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/B7EmDF1n9Y. 🧊 Relief is on the way: a cold front rolls in tonight with storms, then clears the air for a cooler, less humid weekend. Here is Friday hour by hour. 👇

Today we're opening three new cooling centers at our Neighborhood Health Action Centers in Brownsville, East Harlem, and Tremont, to help reduce the risk of heat illness in areas with some of the highest rates of heat-related death in NYC.
