New York, July 01, 2021: New York City is asking residents and businesses to conserve power as a massive heat wave is raging through the city. The city issued an emergency alert after 4:15 pm local east coast time (on Wednesday), asking residents to avoid use of major appliances and limit air conditioning.

Mayor Bill de Blasio urged New Yorkers to take “immediate action” and reduce electricity consumption for the rest of the day to avoid power disruptions.

“We need New Yorkers to take IMMEDIATE action: reduce your use of electricity in your home or your business for the rest of the day. We need to avoid energy disruptions during this heat emergency,” tweeted Blasio.

New York’s tryst with a heat wave comes months after a rare deep freeze in Texas that crippled the state’s power infrastructure and killed 150 people. The pacific northwest is also witnessing a historic heat wave that caused temperatures to peak at 110 Fahrenheit in Spokane, Washington.
