Bay Area cooling centers open as heat wave blasts region
Bay Area counties on Tuesday opened cooling centers as the region settled into the most intense part of a heat wave that is expected to last into the weekend, if not longer. An excessive heat warning has been extended from 11 a.m. Tuesday until Sunday at 8 p.m., and National Weather Service meteorologist Nicole Sarment said it’s possible that warning could be extended.
Public safety officials urged people to be aware of the dangers of the heat, to minimize their activity and to drink fluids enough to avoid being thirsty. They also urged they stay inside cool places.
Several counties said they will open public cooling centers to deal with the heat. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority also said that it would be offering free rides on buses and the light rale to designated cooling centers in the county from Tuesday until Sunday.
Here is a list of cooling centers around the region. Unless otherwise noted, the cooling centers will be closed on the Fourth of July holiday Thursday and on Sunday.
