New Yorkers throw cold water on ‘heat dome’ hoopla — but forecasters warn it’ll only get hotter

Hard-boiled New Yorkers threw cold water on the hoopla surrounding the supposedly “extreme” heat dome that hit the city Thursday — as forecasters warned it really is going to get worse.

“It’s hot, but I thought it was going to be hotter. It’s not that humid,” said Melanie Gedney, 28, who works in accounting and was eating lunch outside in Midtown. “Anytime we have the first weather event of any season it gets hyped up.”

Brian, a 37-year-old construction worker doing a project nearby, said he had sweat through far hotter days.

“It’s regular heat to me. Could be worse,” he said, adding he doesn’t believe the heat dome is really a thing. “They hype up too many things sometimes.”

Everyone from Mayor Adams to National Weather Service meteorologists have warned that an oppressive heatwave would roast the city this week, bringing real-feel temperatures into the high 90s.

But some Big Apple residents said officials may be full of hot air.
