As temperatures near the triple digits Friday and Saturday around Denver, the city will open cooling centers to give residents a break from the intense heat
The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the Denver region due to temperatures near 100 degrees both Friday and Saturday. These conditions can cause heat illnesses, which is a particular risk to people 65 years old and up, children younger than 2 years old, and people with chronic diseases or mental illness. Heat illnesses can be dangerous and in some circumstances, fatal.
Denver Parks and Recreation will open all recreation centers that are currently operating as cooling stations during their regular business hours. Access is free. In addition, several Denver Public Library locations are open as public indoor reprieves from the heat. The Central Library, Ross-Cherry Creek Branch Library, and Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library are not included in this, the city said.
