CALIFORNIA, USA — Cooling centers are scheduled to open this week with temperatures expected to reach triple digits in the Greater Sacramento area.
People can expect triple digits on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect beginning Tuesday and lasting through Thursday.
Temperatures this hot aren’t rare this time of year, but the first heat wave of the year is particularly dangerous, especially considering the single-day jump in high temperatures from Monday to Tuesday. The warm overnight lows also raise the risk of heat illness
NWS Sacramento lists the following impacts and precautions for staying safe in the heat:
- A major risk of heat stress or illnesses, especially for anyone without effective cooling or hydration
- Stay hydrated
- Avoid being outdoors in the sun from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Stay in a cool place, especially during the heat of the day
- Use caution around area waterways which are running fast and cold due to snowmelt
Here are the cooling centers open in the Greater Sacramento area.
