Update 7/19/22 

 

Update: 5/21/22 - Albany County Library branches are open for heat relief during their usual hours, with the exception of the Delaware Branch.



 

With Capital Region temps in the mid-90s this weekend, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Saturday noon to 8p.  

The currently forecasted high of 94 would only be three degrees off the all time record high of 97 set during a deadly Upstate New York heatwave in 1911. The NWS advises proper hydration, turning up the A/C, limiting sun time and strenuous activity, and checking on relatives and neighbors.

Local city governments are offering cooling stations and splash pads this weekend to beat the dangerous heat. Here's where to find them:
