NYC which is far less than tropical has a dozen or so days each year that top 100º (what 38ºC.?) and usually the humidity is up there to match-- triple H days-- Hot, Hazy and Humid. Parts of souther Jersey are worse.. a friend of friend landed in at Philly airport, stepped on the tarmac and felt at home.. Home being Calicutta!

we have had "heat spells" that have lasted 10 or more days, with even the night time temp remaining in the 90º's-- and i am sure that heat and humidity are worse futher south.

and NY's temp is measured in Centeral Park-- but the masonary building act as great big blocks of thermal mass-- soaking up the suns heat all day, and keeping the nights hot too.. so its often a few degrees cooler in the park.
