NYC Heatwave Strains Power Grid | New York City News
Description
New York’s sweltering heatwave is breaking records—temperatures hit 100 degrees, with humidity making it feel like 110 to 115. Millions of AC units are straining the power grid, causing over 80,000 outages, with 22,000 still without power as of Friday. Con Edison’s emergency voltage cuts in Brooklyn and Queens are helping prevent collapse. Officials urge residents to set thermostats to 78 and unplug unused electronics. Cooling centers are open for those without AC—find yours on the city’s website.
