Temperatures are soaring into the triple digits in the Midwest and East Coast this week and into the July 4th holiday weekend.
Mamdani encouraged New Yorkers to raise their thermostats amid the life-threatening heat wave.
“I am asking every New Yorker to make a heat plan before the worst of this weather arrives,” said Mayor Mamdani on Wednesday.
“The best protection against extreme heat is air conditioning. If you don’t have it at home, know now where you’ll go to stay cool. Check in on your neighbors, especially seniors, and if you see someone outside who appears to be in distress, call 311 so we can get help to them. This administration is using every tool we have to keep New Yorkers safe, but the strongest city is one where neighbors look out for one another.”
“And to every business owner, please set your thermostats to 78 degrees to alleviate the stress on our grid,” Mamdani told New Yorkers.
