Tracking the Temperatures on the Harlem Heat Island

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 8, 2016

In the midst of the city's first official heat wave this year, a new joint news venture seeks to track temperatures in Harlem apartments with no air conditioning.

A. Adam Glenn, founder and editor of AdaptNY, Sarah Gonzalez, WNYC and NJPR's northern New Jersey enterprise reporter, and John Keefe, WNYC senior editor for data news, explain how it works and what they hope to learn.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
