All across the Bronx, cooling centers including libraries, senior centers, and other community centers, will be open for residents to cool down until 8 p.m. Wednesday.

According to NYC Emergency Management, air-conditioned environments are the safest place for older adults, children, and people with preexisting health issues to be today.

If you are outside, it's recommended to

  • Drink water

  • Wear light, loose-fitted clothes

  • Avoid strenuous activity

  • Reduce time outdoors
