 Mayor Eric Adams says there are hundreds of cooling centers open, free of charge, and some city-run pools are extending their hours until 8 p.m. in response to this intense heat. A heat wave can be deadly and life-threatening if you are not prepared. Con Edison's Jamie Brennan is asking New Yorkers to conserve energy. Laundry machines, dryers, dishwashers, if you can shift that use to after 10 p.m. or before 2 p.m., that really helps to conserve and reduce the peak demand on the grid.
