Heat indexes here in western NY will be 95 to 105 all week and extending into part of the next week. Temps in the 80s overnight. Very high humidity.

Don't know if it will help, but I bought a portable, battery operated fan for when I need to go outdoors. It might just blow the hot air around. I will stay indoors in AC most of the time.

A few things I did in a heat wave last summer helped when outdoors. Carry a tumbler cup of ice water, and use a wide umbrella to shield me from the sun.

Highs will be in the 90s-100s with heat indices of 100-110 (locally 115). Warm nights will offer little relief. Stay h riversedge 23 hrs ago #5
