description

In summer it’s always hot in the Big Apple, but the summer of 2003 had been especially sweltering. Temperatures had been around 35oC during all the month, with humidity approaching one hundred percent. The higher the temperature, the lower the New Yorkers’ thermostats, up to the point where you needed a sweater at the office, while outside delivery men, mail carriers and peddlers had to suffer the heat, together with the tourists brave enough to venture through the smoldering avenues.
