Is it summer yet ??

That's the question myself and others were asking just a few short weeks ago. The last three days have incrementally increased in temperature, humidity and heat index. It is so bad, it feels like one is swimming outside. You can almost cut the humidity with a knife. The air is unbearable heavy. It is even starting to affect the city. There was a power outage a short while ago, on the east side of Manhattan and the Bronx. It affected the subway, street lights and even the Metropolitan Museum of Art had to be evacuated. My personal experience involved the scooter I saw on my way back from lunch.


The heat actually melted the tar and the bike lost its footing. Hot enough for you?
