So much for this being a cooler summer than years past. The temperature will reach a high of 93 degrees today—making it the hottest day of the year thus far—and tomorrow and Wednesday's highs are expected to be close to 95 degrees. The city issued its first heat advisory of the season today, which means the Post now has a good excuse to publish photos of bikini-clad girls "cooling off" in the ocean. Both will probably be discontinued when the heat wave passes later this week. [NYP, NYDN]
