An unusually hot air mass over southwest California will bring high heat to town today and Saturday. Above normal temperatures will persist into next week, the National Weather Service reports.
Friday should reach 96 and Saturday 94, the NWS said.
Pasadena city spokesperson Lisa Derderian said the city is opening a cooling center from noon until 6 p.m. both days.
“We’re opening a cooling center at Robinson Center (1081 N Fair Oaks Ave.) … at the request of Supervisor Barger’s office. The county will run it and we provide the location,” Derderian said.
Derderian said proper social distancing and the wearing of masks will be observed. Water will be available for proper hydration, she said.
The NWS urged residents to “drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.”
Also, “take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 911.”
