It is important to find relief from the heat, even briefly. Heat illnesses are often cumulative, meaning they build up over time. The more cooldown time you have, the more you can reset that clock.
For those without shelter or air conditioning, cooling centers are open to help people escape the heat.
The following three centers will be open between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.:
- Patton Recreation Center at 2301 Woodmere Street
- Heilmann Recreation Center at 19601 Brock Avenue
- Northwest Activities Center at 18100 Meyers Road
Detroit Public Library locations will also serve as centers during their normal operating hours for residents seeking relief. Details about hours of operation at individual library branches can be found here.
