“Extreme heat poses a huge risk if not taken seriously,” Governor Hochul said.“This week, the World Cup kicks off, and as New Yorkers make plans to watch the first match, it is critical to factor in a plan for severe heat: Plan ahead and stay hydrated, check in with elderly neighbors and know where your nearby cooling centers are during the next few days," Hochul stated.

State officials tell Hudson Valley Post that extreme heat is "dangerous" and is the number one "cause of weather-related fatalities." The most common heat-related illnesses are:
