But on Thursday and Friday, July 9 and 10, temperatures can reach almost 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit). Especially such indicators are likely within the city, noted in the National Meteorological Service.
Temperatures at 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit) are forecasted for every day until the next Sunday, July 19, according to weather forecasts, it will be 31 degrees Celsius (89 Fahrenheit).
The hottest days this week will be Thursday and Friday, July 9 and 10. A temperature of 35 and 36 degrees Celsius is expected these days (96 and 97 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively).
In addition, throughout the week there is a chance of rain and thunderstorms, which will be some relief after June's record high temperatures in New York.
The consolation for New Yorkers is that their region is not alone in the extreme heat. The National Weather Service has warned of dangerous weather conditions expected across a wide area from Central New York to Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Tips for those who do not tolerate heat
If you do not tolerate heat, use the tips that will help you easier to transfer it.
- Do not drink cold water
It does not quench and quickly leaves with sweat, removing a solution of salts and organic substances secreted by sweat glands. Drink tea or unsweetened kvass. Everything is clear about sweet soda: the more you drink, the more you want. Well, of course, you should not drink alcohol in the heat.
- Drink iced tea
Brew a liter of weak tea. When it cools, throw some honey, lemon and mint there. Drink chilled. It is not only tasty, but also healthy.
- Avoid jerky movements
Move smoothly, choosing the shadow side of the street for movement. After each walk under the scorching sun, wash your feet and ankles with cool water. There are many biologically active points, so it is not only pleasant, but also useful.
- Make an “anti-scarf” (“Japanese conditioner”)
In Japanese prints or in Japanese cinema, you can often see people in white shawls on their necks. This is it. Ingenious thing. Just give it a try. Take a white clean handkerchief, soak in cold water, tie it around the neck. When the handkerchief dries, soak again. The facilitating effect occurs literally in a couple of minutes.
- Make yourself a siesta
Arrange yourself a siesta in the hottest time. It is not in vain that afternoon nap is a common tradition in some countries, especially with a hot climate. The main rule: sleep should be short, no more than 30 minutes.
