Over 100 million Americans are under excessive heat warning or heat advisory

According to the National Weather Service, a heat advisory or warning is in effect for more than 100 million Americans on Thursday.

Many states, including New York, experienced triple-digit temperatures; hence, some residents sought relief in cooling facilities like the Brooklyn Public Library.

“I don’t have no AC in my apartment, so I came here to cool off. It’s too hot. I would have to wait for the sun to go down to go home,” Brooklyn resident Clyde Taylor said.

The emergency management division of New York City is in charge of 550 cooling centers. The heat advisory for New York City has been extended through Sunday, and utilities are running at maximum capacity.

Customers of Con Edison, one of New York City’s energy providers, have been requested to turn down their air conditioners by only a few degrees in order to ensure that everyone has access to electricity.

President Biden delivered a stern warning Wednesday and pledged new executive steps to address climate change, including a $2.3 billion commitment to develop climate-resistant infrastructure, as above-average temperatures engulfed the U.S.

  3. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial.
