Nothing can match summertime in New York City.
Even though we all love sun and blue skies, we should also be aware of the risks they pose at the height of the summer, especially to our most vulnerable citizens. Unless you're on the Mets or the Yankees, or are another athlete in top condition, you shouldn't be overexerting yourself in 90 or 95 degree weather. Also avoid direct exposure to the sun, particularly during peak hours between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to stay inside, with air conditioning, a breeze, or at least the cover of shade. Drink plenty of fluids. Water and diluted juices are the smartest things to drink.
