New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is being slammed on Twitter after he told New Yorkers to cut power usage on the hottest day in eight years. 

De Blasio said on Wednesday that the city was experiencing a heat emergency and called on residents to take 'immediate' action to cut down electricity usage in their homes in a bid to avoid power outages.

'We need New Yorkers to take IMMEDIATE action: reduce your use of electricity in your home or your business for the rest of the day. We need to avoid energy disruptions during this heat emergency,' he tweeted. 

'The extreme heat will hopefully break early tomorrow morning. Let's get to that point safely.'
