Very Hot Weather is Here!

The National Weather Service says extreme heat and humidity are expected to build across the region each day. With this system, forecasters are also saying potentially damaging thunderstorms and outages could be possible. In addition, if the weather arrives as forecasted, meteorologists say the ingredients will also be here for a tornado to possibly develop.

We have been tracking potential weather impacts closely, and our crews are ready to safely respond as needed. In addition to our GMP team, we also have external crews available to assist our team as needed.

Please be safe and stay alert to weather conditions this week. Heat stroke and other risks can come on very quickly in this type of weather. Here are some safety tips and resources including a link to cooling centers around the state: Hot weather in Vermont.
