Baltimore Under Extreme Heat Alert | Baltimore News

Baltimore’s under a Code Red Extreme Heat Alert through July 4th, with temps soaring over 100 degrees and heat index hitting 105+ — dangerously high. Governor Wes Moore has declared a State of Preparedness as Maryland grapples with 4 heat-related deaths this year and 34 last year, with Baltimore alone reporting 8 deaths in 2025. Officials urge everyone to hydrate, avoid outdoor activity during peak heat, and seek air-conditioned spaces — especially checking on vulnerable neighbors. Cooling centers are open across the city at senior centers, community hubs, and public spots, offering relief from the scorching heat.
