Salt Lake County officials announced the opening of additional 'cool zones' and extended weekend hours to provide relief during the current heat wave. The cooling centers are available at various county facilities, including libraries and community centers, to offer air-conditioned spaces for residents without adequate cooling at home.
The extended hours will apply on Saturdays and Sundays, with some locations staying open later than usual. The county encourages residents, especially seniors and those with health conditions, to use these resources to prevent heat-related illnesses.
For a full list of locations and hours, residents can visit the Salt Lake County website or call the county's information line. The county also reminds everyone to stay hydrated, check on neighbors, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
