California’s grid operator on Tuesday issued an upgraded emergency alert begging people to conserve energy amid an unrelenting heat wave.
People were urged to turn off appliances, turn up their thermostats and avoid charging electric vehicles during the peak hours.
Temperatures soared into the triple digits in cities away from the coastline.
Even beach cities are under a heat advisory.

“Extreme heat continues to stress the power grid. Please conserve energy today after 4 pm to reduce the need for power outages.”
