While New Yorkers are hitting the beach to enjoy the sunshine, Gov. Kathy Hochul is urging residents to take precautions as extreme heat sets in across the city.

Older adults, especially those 60 and older, and people with chronic health conditions — including heart disease, diabetes, and mental health or cognitive conditions — are at highest risk for heat-related illness.

“Heat can be deadly,” Hochul warned. “Everyone needs to take this seriously, especially as temperatures climb in the coming days.”

If someone experiences these symptoms, call 911 immediately. If someone feels faint or weak, move them to a cool area, offer water, and monitor symptoms closely.

At Coney Island, many residents say they’re taking extra steps to beat the heat — from cooling off in the ocean to staying hydrated and shaded.
