The New Republic 

“If you don’t have air conditioning,” Governor Kathy Hochul warned New Yorkers ahead of a heat wave this week, “you probably need to get out of the house.” She told the citizenry to be aware of the signs of heat stroke and to make their way to an official cooling center—public indoor air-conditioned sites set up to offer relief during times of extreme heat.
