With the mercury hovering around the 100-degree mark Tuesday, and more hot temperatures expected tomorrow (110F), New York City is under a heat emergency.
Con Edison says New Yorkers used a record amount of electricity during peak hours Tuesday. Demand reached 13,103 megawatts at 5 p.m., beating the previous record set last year on July 27th by about 40 megawatts.
