Rare 'extreme heat warning' issued in Vermont, New York as dangerous heat settles in
by Michael Cusanelli
Jun 23, 2025BARRE, Vt. — "Several municipalities in our region have opened cooling centers as temperatures will soar close to 100 degrees this week.
"Hinesburg Emergency Management has opened a cooling center at the CVU High School Library. Guests are welcome to visit the cooling center Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"The Middlebury Recreation Building on Creek Road is also open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. both Monday and Tuesday. The town poll will be open as well from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"The city of Burlington has several cooling centers available across the city, as well as a shade tent set up in City Hall Park.
"Barre, meanwhile, is opening the Municipal Pool free of charge to all city residents on Monday. Proof of residency is required.
"In New Hampshire, Lebanon is opening several cooling areas for the general public on Monday and Tuesday. Those include the Lebanon Public Library, the Kilton Library and the Lebanon Airport Terminal Building. The Upper Valley Senior Center will also double as a cooling shelter for senior citizens only.
"In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency for Clinton and Essex counties, with cooling centers open across the North Country. The public libraries in Chazy Plattsburgh, Au Sable Forks, Wadhams, Chateaugay and Tupper Lake will be turned into cooling centers. A full list of shelters is available at the New York Department of Health website."

What are the risks?"According to the Maine Emergency Management Agency, heat-related illnesses in the state more often occur when temperatures reach the mid-80s or higher.
“Heat-related illnesses, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke, happen when the body is not able to properly cool itself,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “While the body normally cools itself by sweating, during extreme heat, this might not be enough.

Updated: 3:22 PM EDT June 23, 2025AUGUSTA, Maine — "Summer has arrived in Maine, bringing rising temperatures and longer days. But when the heat becomes dangerous or oppressive, community cooling centers help support those who need an escape from the heat and humidity.
"The centers are often located in public spaces, such as recreation centers or libraries. They typically open for short-term purposes.
"While the primary purpose is to save lives by getting people out of potentially dangerous heat conditions, cooling centers may also provide charging stations, showers, or food.
"The latest listings for cooling centers are on the Maine Emergency Management Agency's [#MEMA] website. We've included a roundup here as well as additional resources to help you stay safe this summer when temperatures rise.

@RobotDiver just suggested a brilliant technique to keep pets cool (and guess what -- it works on humans too). Anyways, I took some small hand-towels, wet them, let them dry off a bit, then stuck them in the freezer. After they froze, I took one out, put it in a waterproof bin to unfreeze it, and then used it on myself after I watered the plants outside. Wow!!! How simple and refreshing! Kudos to @RobotDiver for suggesting it!

#AncientTechnology gets an update in #sustainable #cooling solution
By Drew Zeiba • February 20, 2019
" 'The way we cool our buildings right now is totally wrong,' said Indian architect Monish Siripurapu in a video produced the United Nations‘ Environment program. The words are bleak, but arguably true; the electricity and hydrofluorocarbons most modern cooling systems demand ironically warm the planet overall while they cool our conditioned spaces. On top of that, with global temperatures rising and worldwide populations growing, demands for cooling are only increasing. More #EcoFriendly options are urgently needed, and Siripurapu’s New Delhi–based firm Ant Studio has proposed an affordable, scalable, sustainable, and aesthetically appealing solution to the problem of #AirConditioning.
"Ant Studio’s mission is to combine 'art, nature, and technology,' and its temperature-regulating solution is designed to be as much an art installation as a cooling system. The Beehive, as the system’s first iteration is called, was built to ameliorate high-temperature conditions for laborers at the Noida, Uttar Pradesh–based manufacturer Deki Electronics, where generators and other equipment output their own heat, adding to high outdoor temperatures. The Beehive is part of a larger exploration by the firm that leverages #terracotta tubes and water as part of a low-energy cooling system.
"The Beehive, so-named for its honeycomb-like structure, follows an Indian tradition of using earthenware to cool water. 'Traditional architecture has so much wisdom,' said Siripurapu.
"The ancient process has been wholly modernized, with tools such as computational fluid dynamics modeling, as well as the addition of low-energy water pumps and, if needed, electric fans.
"But instead of using fans with the Beehive installation, Ant Studio’s cooling device was placed right in front of the exhaust vents of the diesel generator near where workers at the factory were active. This was able to drop the 'scorching' air being expelled from the generator from 122 degrees Fahrenheit to 97 degrees Fahrenheit, while lowering the overall temperature in the area and reportedly consuming 40 percent less energy than other cooling systems, not to mention using no refrigerants."

The Beehive is part of a larger exploration by the firm that leverages #terracotta tubes and water as part of a low-energy cooling system.
"The Beehive, so-named for its honeycomb-like structure, follows an Indian tradition of using earthenware to cool water. 'Traditional architecture has so much wisdom,' said Siripurapu.
"The ancient process has been wholly modernized, with tools such as computational fluid dynamics modeling, as well as the addition of low-energy water pumps and, if needed, electric fans.
"But instead of using fans with the Beehive installation, Ant Studio’s cooling device was placed right in front of the exhaust vents of the diesel generator near where workers at the factory were active. This was able to drop the 'scorching' air being expelled from the generator from 122 degrees Fahrenheit to 97 degrees Fahrenheit, while lowering the overall temperature in the area and reportedly consuming 40 percent less energy than other cooling systems, not to mention using no refrigerants."

" 'The way we cool our buildings right now is totally wrong,' said Indian architect Monish Siripurapu in a video produced the United Nations‘ Environment program. The words are bleak, but arguably true; the electricity and hydrofluorocarbons most modern cooling systems demand ironically warm the planet overall while they cool our conditioned spaces. On top of that, with global temperatures rising and worldwide populations growing, demands for cooling are only increasing. More #EcoFriendly options are urgently needed, and Siripurapu’s New Delhi–based firm Ant Studio has proposed an affordable, scalable, sustainable, and aesthetically appealing solution to the problem of #AirConditioning.
"Ant Studio’s mission is to combine 'art, nature, and technology,' and its temperature-regulating solution is designed to be as much an art installation as a cooling system. The Beehive, as the system’s first iteration is called, was built to ameliorate high-temperature conditions for laborers at the Noida, Uttar Pradesh–based manufacturer Deki Electronics, where generators and other equipment output their own heat, adding to high outdoor temperatures.
