The heat wave gripping New York is not evenly distributed.
The US heat wave has come to New York City, delivering temperatures in the mid- to upper-90s and the first excessive heat warning in two years. But thanks to what researchers call the “heat island effect”— when excess concrete and scarce shading combine to raise the temperature — some neighborhoods will swelter more than others.
Parts of Midtown, for example, are on average 1-2F hotter than the Financial District; people heading home to the Upper West Side, Fort Greene or Clinton Hill will get a significant reprieve. Densely populated parts of Queens are also extra-hot, but the heat island effects lessen in the leafier, more suburban parts of the borough.
