It was a humid day in NY, with temperatures around 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius).

In a campaign podcast last month, Clinton said she does yoga and walks on the treadmill to stay fit.
But a senior aide said a planned fundraising trip to California on Monday was “currently in discussion”, as the campaign mulls Clinton’s next steps in the heat of a narrowing race.
Trump, who attended the same event marking the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was noticeably restrained.
“I don’t know why they are saying this”, she said.
The incident compounds an already hard stretch for Ms Clinton as the presidential race enters its final stretch.
The video was first shared on subreddit for Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, where it quickly shot to the top of the bulletin board system website. But there’s no denying Clinton’s “overheating” episode at such a high profile event couldn’t have come at a worse time for her campaign.
Clinton had been trying to move on from a blunder in which she told a crowd at a fundraiser late Friday that “to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables”.
Clinton was advised in 1998 to take blood-thinning medications to prevent deep vein thrombosis blood clots when she traveled on long-distance flights, Bardack wrote.
On Sunday, Clinton’s campaign released a statement about the presidential candidate’s condition. While she was at the ceremony, it was warm and humid.
Clinton had spent about an hour and a half at the ceremony before leaving. “If they think there may be a health problem, their job is not gathering up the press”, she said.
“It was stiflingly hot. I was sweating through my shirt”, Crowley said. She drank water and took a lozenge at the podium, going on to finish her remarks.
Schumer said he also spoke with Clinton during the event and saw her leave “on her own accord.”? Protective details for Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and other city officials were also on hand. She should release detailed health records, including the treatment she received following her concussion several years ago.
In December, Dr. Harold Bornstein issued a one-page statement asserting that Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. Media reports she told her staff she was not feeling well.
Pace reported from Washington. Mr Trump garnered the support of 39.7 per cent against 39 per cent for Clinton, according to the poll released on Saturday. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
Clinton, 68, felt ill Sunday at the ceremony commemorating the 2001 terrorist attacks at Ground Zero and departed for her daughter’s apartment in NY.
When you are a presidential candidate in the midst of a close race, you simply do not unexpectedly depart early from an important event like the NY memorial service marking the 15 anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorists attacks because you feel “overheated” – you soldier on.
Clinton’s campaign says the former secretary of state left the annual remembrance event on Sunday after feeling “overheated”.
The incident comes less than 60 days before the November 8 presidential election and at a time of intense campaigning against Republican rival Donald Trump.
For months, Trump’s supporters have tried to make the case that Clinton is physically unfit for the White House, citing a concussion she sustained in December 2012 after fainting.
Yet Clinton, who is now 68, also had to undergo anticoagulation therapy to dissolve a blood clot and had to wear special glasses to correct double vision for almost two months starting in late 2012.

Clinton was about 20 feet away from Trump, listening the reading of the names lost in the terror attacks just before 9 a.m.
