Twin Cities Heatwave Safety Guide | Minneapolis News

Twin Cities bracing for a dangerous heatwave hitting the 90s with heat indexes over 100—expected to last through the Fourth of July weekend. Officials warn the elderly, kids, and pregnant folks are most at risk. Stay cool by hydrating with water and electrolytes, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding alcohol and caffeine. Fans can worsen things indoors above 90 degrees. Public cooling centers are open at libraries, rec centers, malls, and Salvation Army locations. Minnehaha Dog Park and the mist from Minnehaha Falls offer relief outdoors—don’t forget pets! Save on energy bills by using programmable thermostats, ceiling fans, running appliances only during cooler hours, and turning off lights and electronics when not in use.
