This heatwave is not just a pain in the neck and every other body part you can identify. A heatwave is a period of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by high humidity, especially in oceanic climate countries. While definitions vary, a heatwave is usually measured relative to the usual weather in the area and relative to normal temperatures for the season.
The state of New York is experiencing power grid pains as peak electricity usage could break a record set in back in 2006. Consumers are being asked to conserve, but all they do is crank up their air conditioners on this fifth and final day of an extreme;y brutal heatwave.
The heatwave is now affecting folks who live in many parts of the country, with little relief in sight. Temperatures in New York City are expected to reach over 90 for the fourth day before thunderstorms break the heatwave.
Stay safe but conserve is the best advice we can offer and try to remember those days when it was cold outdoors. Now how do you feel?
