Wayland Opens Cooling Centers For Yet Another Heat Wave

WAYLAND, MA — Wayland residents will have some options to seek refuge from the new heat wave that will last until Wednesday.

The Wayland Free Public Library, 5 Concord Road, will be open extra hours on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The public safety building, 38 Cochituate Road, will keep its training room open for the public to use to cool down 24 hours per day through Wednesday at 5 p.m.

"It will be vitally important that those without adequate cooling are monitored for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. During the peak heat and humidity this week, everyone should try to limit time spent outdoors, especially in full sunshine," the town said Monday.

This week's heat wave will likely peak on Wednesday, with heat indices reaching 100 or higher in the Wayland area, according to the National Weather Service.
