Scorching temperatures are expected to remain throughout the weekend across Central Texas. As the mercury is projected to climb as high as 107 degrees, the City of Austin will be opening up a number of locations where you can step in and beat the heat.
“Austin-Travis County remains committed to supporting the community during severe weather events and during emergencies,” said Emergency Management Deputy Officer Aoife Longmore. “We want to make sure anyone who needs a place to cool down knows where they can go, anyone working outdoors knows their rights so they can remain safe and healthy, and we want to remind people of heat safety information they need to protect themselves and the environment.”
