I can’t understand what the big tsimmis is about. Every Shabbos during the summer in Eilat, it gets even warmer, than NYC. The same holds true for Tuscon, Arizona. Residents of those communities know how to adapt to the heat!

To #7 -Geula- I’m astounded at your response. My point is that very warm and humid days, in the summer are not new to New Yorkers, whether the temperature is 90 degrees or even higher. There have been very warm summers in the past, which have been just as warm as this one. Are you telling me that New Yorkers (especially frum New Yorkers) ae not that sophisticated or intelligent, that they don’t know how to prepare or adapt to such heat waves? New Yorkers can adapt to various changes in climate, whether it is the hot and humid summers, or the bitter cold winters, that are prevalent in the Northeast. New Yorkers are a very tough and resilient people, who have endured subway and bus strikes, power outages, sanitation strikes, bridge strikes, teacher strikes, police slowdowns, and other challenging aspects of life. Therefore, don’t sell them short!
