The heat dome is upon us

NYC is currently under an Extreme Heat Warning through Wednesday. (Much of the country will be experiencing a "heat dome.")

Per the NYC Emergency Management Department:
This is the highest level of heat alert. It means dangerously high temperatures and humidity will create life-threatening conditions, especially for older adults, people with chronic health conditions, and anyone without access to air conditioning. 

Con Ed is also asking consumers to conserve energy, especially between 2 and 10 p.m. 

As of yesterday, cooling centers are open. Find a list of centers and other resources at NYC's Beat the Heat page.

    Thanks for publishing that. Barring a power outage, as a septuagenarian I'll be O.K. with fans and A/C if necessary. Others are not as fortunate & this list should help. Hydrate!
