Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams issued a stark warning to New Yorkers on Thursday to avoid unnecessary time in the sun, with temperatures are expected to skyrocket over the next several days.
Residents of the five boroughs could be seen wiping their brows and shielding themselves from the beaming sun with umbrellas as an excessive heat warning went into effect for the Big Apple. Both the governor and mayor touted the National Weather Service’s warning on July 27, imploring those who are able to stay out of the heat to remain home while cautioning those who have to make the trek outside to take proper precautions.
