Baltimore Heat Wave Alert | Baltimore News

Baltimore’s bracing for a brutal heat wave with temps hitting the upper 90s and low 100s, feeling like 105+ degrees thanks to humidity — and cooling centers are opening as heat-related deaths already this year remind us this isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s deadly. With last year’s 36 fatalities, officials are urging everyone to plan ahead: stay hydrated, check on neighbors, especially the elderly and pets, and keep AC or fans running. When the heat index hits 105+, a “Code Red” is declared — meaning cooling centers are open and prevention is your best defense. Simple steps like cold showers, electrolyte drinks, and avoiding caffeine/alcohol can save lives. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
