I don't see the problem with 2 or 3 weeks of heat that New York City and Chicago gets every summer. People in Texas, Florida, Oklahoma and Arizona are probably getting a good chuckle out of all the media attention this heat in the Midwest and Northeast is getting. Lol
Saying that, some long range guidance says that the heat will come back in August.

Absolutely. I lived in Austin TX for a year and had to deal with 100 days of this garbage that year, as opposed to 15. This is laughable in comparison (though still an annoyance). There’s a reason I moved (well actually it was more about winter than summer but in the end the point is that it was always too warm).

92 and partly cloudy out there. It's a really nice day to
1. stay inside
2. take a shower and turn the knob all the way to the cold side
3. pretend that it's the negative of the temperature that it actually is
4. disregard the weather
5. close all the shades
6. stick your head in the freezer
7. stay inside.
Actually the ocean is usually colder than the tap water this time of year in NYC. The reason why is they keep the water in tanks on the top of the skyscrapers and those tanks can get warm.
If you want to cool off, the best idea is to head to the beach and get in the water. Water temps in low 70's or upper 60's if you get far enough out on the island.
I'm actually in NYC right now, I'm there for the rest of the week (business). Was in Central Park last night, was really comfortable (I ate from a vendor didn't want to miss an epic heatwave in NYC by sitting in A/C), didn't even break a sweat but everyone was complaining. I was thinking this is just warm weather in Austin lol. I always love to see Central Park in full foilage, it's so much nicer that way. It's a shame they don't have a warmer winter or they could grow a greater diversity of plants.
When I was sitting in Central Park last night and hearing the birds and seeing the trees and grass, I quickly understood how Koppen and Trawartha came up with their guidelines. South of NYC in NJ it really is subtropical (by the time you get to DC it definitely is). NYC is kind of the dividing line because it gets heat but only a few weeks vs. a couple of months.
I was also thinking that London would never see these nightly lows and daily highs. They struggled to reach 95F this year and it was a record heatwave.
I think this finally puts all the naysayers that the Northeast doesn't get a proper summer to bed. It does and Koppen and Trawartha were correct. Even Montreal and Toronto are getting in on the action.

We're laughing at y'all but Phoenix is laughing at everyone. Only 106 there today but 109 tomorrow.
