Stay cool in the Central Valley Heat!
Thursday, June 10, 2010
The central valley is hot in the summer. Did you know that each year there are usually between
15 – 20 days that are 100 degrees or hotter? Special cooling centers are only opened during specific heat emergencies, but there are many ideas on how to stay cool on hot summer days.
- Visit friends or family with air conditioning. This is especially important for the very young and the elderly!
- Visit a mall! Modesto, Stockton, & Tracy have very large malls. Spend hours browsing the shops and having a bite to eat!
- Visit any of the local libraries. Most have scheduled reading activities for children. So if your children are young this might be the perfect way to beat the heat with them!
- Visit your local community center. Most center’s have swimming pools that are open to the community. Most have posted life guards and at scheduled times may even offer swim lessons!
If you have any other ideas on how to beat the heat, let us know! Post them in our comments section!
