When summer temps rise there's nowhere for the heat to go, and the temperature can be 10 degrees higher than surrounding areas. It just keeps building, and building, and building. I always avoided NYC like the plague in August. New York in springtime is always my favorite. I really hope to visit again someday after Joe Biden is elected president and the virus is in our rearview mirror.
