NYC OPENS COOLING CENTERS ON JUNE 8 & 9
The first heat wave of the season has arrived in New York City. Temperatures will climb into the 90s on Wednesday and will remain in the mid- to high 90s through Thursday.
Cooling Centers: New York City cooling centers will open Wednesday, June 8 and Thursday, June 9 until further notice to help New Yorkers beat the heat. Call 311 or use the cooling center finder to find a cooling center near you.
Conserve Energy: During periods of extremely hot and humid weather, electricity use rises, which can cause power disruptions. Use air conditioners only when you're home, and only in rooms you're using. If you want to cool your home before you return, set a timer that turns on no more than 30 minutes before you arrive. Turn off nonessential appliances.
Health & Safety: Stay out of the sun if possible and remember to drink plenty of water. Check on neighbors who may be vulnerable to the heat.
