Extreme heat and humidity are forecast for our area this week, with temperatures in the upper 90s to near 100° and maximum heat indices over 100°.
Isolated storms are also possible late, and there is the potential for smoky conditions as smoke from Canadian wildfire smoke filters into the region.
Staying cool isn't just about comfort; it’s about safety. If you or someone you know does not have access to air conditioning, please utilize the City’s designated cooling centers to beat the heat safely. Everyone is welcome, especially high-risk individuals including seniors, families with young children, and anyone without a reliable way to cool down at home. If you or someone around you shows signs of heat-related illness or is in medical distress, call 9-1-1 immediately. Early intervention can save a life.
Never Leave Children or Pets in a Vehicle. Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can become deadly within minutes.
