According to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC):

As a reminder, the Roosevelt Island Cooling Center, located at 546 Main St., will be open Friday, July 22, Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24, from 9 AM- 5 PM when the National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory for the New York City area.

This advisory is issued for New York City area when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is at least 95 degrees for two consecutive days, or 100 degrees for any length of time.

Individuals without air conditioning, particularly those at risk for heat-related illness, should use established cooling centers during a heat wave.
