Wednesday Forecast Update: Heat Advisory Remains in Effect

Wednesday Forecast Update: Heat Advisory Remains in Effect
John Bobel
June 15, 2022

With temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and high humidity, heat index values are forecast to peak around 105 degrees this afternoon. Additionally, warm temperatures overnight will provide little relief from these oppressive conditions.

Lexington residents needing a cool place to stay during the day are invited to come to either of the City’s two locations to cool off tomorrow, June 14, through Thursday, June 16. Remember to maintain physical distance from others.

The Dunbar Community Center, 545 North Upper St., will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

A room at the Tates Creek Golf Course at 1400 Gainesway Drive will be open from 7 a.m. to dusk.

Lextran is offering free rides to Lexington residents to any of the cooling centers. Residents should tell the bus driver they are traveling to a cooling center.

Admission to Lexington’s pools and aquatic centers is 50% off Tuesday through Thursday.

The Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention Heat Plan has been activated due to the extreme heat warning. This plan will remain in effect through the evening of Friday, June 17. The plan is activated anytime temperatures are expected to exceed 95 degrees and it also relaxes access to emergency shelters.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, schedule strenuous activities for early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light and loose-fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
