Con Edison has mobilized crews to respond around the clock as high temperatures and possible thunderstorms are forecasted this week in New York City.
While Queens is expected to see only one day above 90 degrees, elevated humidity and ongoing heat remain a concern for the local power grid and residents.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in Queens will hover in the mid- to upper 80s throughout the week, peaking at 91 degrees on Wednesday. Thunderstorms are possible Wednesday and Thursday, which could increase the risk of power outages due to lightning and high winds affecting overhead power lines.
