Officials say this heat can be deadly and urge people to stay indoors as much as possible
keeping a portion of the stadium roof closedFans did their best to stay cool Wednesday, but the hottest day so far of the two-week tournament pushed some players to their limit. In between stops to towel off during a quarter final match, Daniil Medvedev expressed frustration playing in what was nearly 95-degree weather.
"I'm not sure what we can do, probably we cannot stop the tournament, because it's been what -- 3, 4 days that it's been brutal like this," he said after the match."I don't have the solution, because even if we say let's play all the matches at night, let's be in different stadiums, it was not much better than us today with Andre because even at night New York can be really hot and humid."The extreme heat poses real health risks.
Most heat-related deaths in New York City occur after exposure to heat in homes without air conditioners. So you should stay indoors, keep your blinds closed, and 78 is the sweet spot on the thermostat to keep cool while conserving energy.
