Greenwich Opens Cooling Centers Amid Extreme Heat

GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich is opening its cooling centers as extreme heat impacts the region this week.

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Greenwich and the surrounding area until Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Temperatures are expected to get into the 90s on Tuesday, and First Selectman Fred Camillo is reminding residents to take advantage of the town's cooling centers to beat the heat.

Residents should exercise caution and avoid putting themselves at risk while also making sure they check in on vulnerable people who might need help.

The Town’s libraries and Bendheim Western Greenwich Civic Center will be open during their regular hours, as will Town Hall, and all can be used as a cooling center.

The Greenwich Public Safety Complex’s Margenot Atrium will be open 24 hours as a cooling center.
