New York City is experiencing dangerous heat as temperatures climb above 100 degrees Fahrenheit during a busy holiday and tourism weekend. 

Visitors arriving for the FIFA World Cup, along with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift ahead of her reported wedding, are coping with sweltering conditions by staying hydrated and seeking air-conditioned spaces. 

City officials have expanded cooling measures by extending swimming pool hours, opening cooling centers until midnight, and deploying hundreds of outreach workers to assist vulnerable residents.

Authorities continue urging people to limit outdoor activity and take precautions against heat-related illness.
