Summer weather shut-off protections state if the weather report at 6AM says it will be 95°F or hotter or feel like (heat index) 95°F or hotter (sustained) in the next 3 days, then your power can’t be turned off that day.

The utility company must check the weather every day and make a new decision based on the latest forecast.
