The excessive heat warning issued by the National Weather Service has prompted cooling stations across the Las Vegas Valley to be activated for a week.

Cooling stations will be open from Wednesday through July 10, according to a Clark County news release.

High temperatures are expected to reach up to 117 degrees during the coming week with overnight lows in the upper 80s or low 90s.

English and Spanish flyers with hour and details are available at helphopehome.org/get-help/. The flyers have updated information regarding opening/closures on the July 4th holiday.

Clark County and community partners are opening cooling stations for the public during daytime hours on those days.

The cooling centers are open to people experiencing homelessness and others in the community in need of cool, indoor spaces for respite from the heat.
