New York Heat Wave: Mayor Urges Residents to Set Air Conditioners to 26 Degrees

New York is on high alert due to the ongoing heat wave. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called on residents to reduce their electricity consumption. Mamdani made this appeal on his social media account, trying to raise awareness among residents.

New York, it's very hot outside and the power grid is working at full capacity to keep us cool. Set your air conditioner to 26 degrees, turn off unused lights and electronic devices, and unplug them if possible. This means the power grid will work stably, air conditioners will continue to work, and lives will be saved. Let's reduce electricity demand together and get through this heat wave.

Following Mamdani's call, efforts to reduce electricity consumption in the city have intensified. According to a report by ABC News on Monday, over 100 million people are on alert due to the heat wave that will affect the central and eastern United States.
