  1. #PortlandME and other #Maine communities open #CoolingCenters ahead of dangerous heat wave

    Maine Public | By Carol Bousquet
    June 30, 2026

    "The National Weather Service says an #ExtremeHeat watch starting Wednesday is expected to make outdoor temperatures in the 90s feel more like 105-110 degrees.

    "In Portland, the #PortlandPublicLibrary at 5 Monument Square will serve as the city's cooling center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. (PPL will be closed on Friday.)

    "On Friday, the #TroubhIceArena at 225 Park Avenue will serve as a cooling center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    "Deering Oaks Ravine wading pool and #SplashPads around the city are also open.

    "The Maine Emergency Management Agency website also lists locations for cooling centers throughout the state.

    "The Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following tips to protect yourself, loved ones, and neighbors during periods of high heat:

    - Keep cool inside: Use air conditioning in your home, or go to an air-conditioned public place like a store, public library, restaurant or cooling center. If you can’t access air conditioning, take frequent cool showers or baths. Cool your home by closing windows and shades during the day and opening them back up at night.
    - Keep cool outside: If you have to be outdoors, stay out of the sun as much as possible (or shift your activities to the early morning or evening, as long as the air quality is good), take frequent breaks from activity, and wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing, a hat and sunscreen.
    - Stay hydrated: Drink more fluids than usual, even if you don’t feel thirsty, and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks if possible. Check with your doctor first if you take water pills or diuretics.
    - Know the symptoms: Monitor yourself and those around you. Seek medical care if anyone experiences symptoms like muscle cramps, very heavy sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, confusion, weakness or nausea.
    - Recognize your risk: Check the Maine CDC At Risk page to see who is at greater risk for heat illness and what signs to watch out for, and learn what to do if you or someone you care for is more at risk from extreme heat.
    - Check on your family, neighbors and friends: Be sure to check in on those around you who live alone, who don’t have air conditioning, or who might otherwise need assistance."
