| Will New York Have A Hot Summer |
The Heat is On (Literally)
We've already had a taste of what could be to come. Those sweltering days where the subway felt like a sauna and your apartment turned into a human incubator? Yeah, that. Climate change is throwing us a curveball, and it seems like New York is right in its crosshairs. So, brace yourselves for temperatures that could make a pizza jealous.
But don't despair, fellow New Yorkers! We're a resilient bunch. We've survived blizzards, blackouts, and now, we're ready to conquer the heat. Remember that time we had to wear winter coats in April? Child's play compared to what Mother Nature might throw at us this summer.
