Clark County on Tuesday said it was activating cooling stations at dozens of community centers, libraries and other public structures a day after the National Weather Service issued an extreme heat warning for the area.
The cooling stations will be open from Thursday through Saturday, and their hours will vary depending on the location, the county said in a news release Tuesday. The extreme heat warning, according to the weather service, will be in effect from 11 a.m. Wednesday until 8 p.m. Sunday and could bring record-setting high temperatures to the Las Vegas Valley.
The stations are open to anyone in need of respite from the heat, the county said. Additional information can be found at Help Hope Home, the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care’s website, the county said.
