New York is bracing for what could be the hottest temperatures so far this year.
A heat wave will be affecting our city, which is under an excessive heat advisory for Thursday and Friday.
According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, temperatures are expected to reach over 90 degrees but the wind chill will be as high as 105 degrees due to high humidity levels.
These conditions could be extended until Saturday.
Óscar Huete was going to summer classes with his child, he tells us that at school they don’t suffer from excessive heat.
“They put the air conditioning on him and I bring him a sweater because he is a bit cold inside, I think they are ready,” he explains.
But for him, the story is different. In his work, they do not have a cooling system.
– No, it’s not hard to work, says Óscar Huete.
– How to do to endure?
– Drinking a lot of water, he answers.
In this sense, it is important to follow the following recommendations:
-Drink water, rest and seek shade if you work outdoors.
-Avoid strenuous activity, between 11 am to 4 pm
-Use light colored clothing.
-Never leave your children or pets inside a vehicle.
Along with the high temperatures we will also be affected by isolated thunderstorms for the next two days.
Remember that most heat-related deaths in New York City occur after exposure in homes without air conditioning.

Yes, today I took it out a little earlier because they say it’s going to reach 100. So I took it out earlier and I’m going to leave earlier too so it can be in the air conditioning… Because if you already feel it, “he says.
And he tells us how he prepares for the heat wave.
“My sun hat, lots of water, freeze the bottles and I take them to work, so they stay fresh all day…”, are Mencía’s advice.
