Heat Safety in New York Schools

As scorching summer temperatures hit New York, schools are stepping up with strict heat safety measures — classrooms must stay below 88 degrees, thanks to Governor Hochul’s 2024 rules, using fans, hydration stations, and night air systems. Outdoor sports? Practices can go up to 80 degrees, but above that? Cautions kick in, and at 96 degrees or higher, all outdoor activity stops. Heat can cause dizziness, nausea, confusion — even heat stroke — and once you’ve had one episode, you’re more vulnerable. Medications can also impair your body’s ability to cool down. Stay safe: hydrate, wear loose clothes, seek shade, and if you feel unwell, get cool and drink water fast. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
