BOSTON - The East Coast on Sunday sweated through another day of extreme heat and humidity as organizers in Boston canceled a benefit run, Delaware Civil War re-enactors got the day off and the New York Police Department implored residents to take it easy.

"Sunday has been canceled," the NYPD jokingly tweeted . "Stay indoors, nothing to see here. Really, we got this."
