The National Weather Service has called a heat advisory for the Union County area for the late afternoon of today, July 17, as well as the entire weekend of July 20 and July 21. The heatwave is expected to last through Sunday.
“Heatwaves can be dangerous, and even fatal if people do not take proper precautions to keep themselves cool,” said Freeholder Chair Bette Jane Kowalski. “Union County has many options available for residents to ‘beat the heat,’ so please take advantage of them and stay safe.”
Residents are advised to stay indoors when possible and keep outdoor activity to a low level. The sun’s heat easily penetrates windows, so shutting drapes, shades, and curtains will help keep indoor spaces cooler during the day. To avoid heat-related illnesses, residents are strongly encouraged to stay in a cool, dry location, put cool, wet cloths on your body, and take a cool bath. Please visit the CDC’s guide to warning signs for more details.
If there is no cooling available at home, relief can be found at a library, senior center, community center, museum, mall, or any other cooled public space where seating is available.
Union County’s public recreation facilities can also offer some respite from the heat. In Rahway, the Walter E. Ulrich Memorial Pool in Rahway River Park is open seven days a week. For information on hours of operation call 732-381-4045.
Spray parks are available for children at Union County’s Warinanco Park in Roselle, Phil Rizzuto Park in Union, Snyder Park in Berkeley Heights, Ponderosa Park in Scotch Plains, Mattano Park in Elizabeth, and Cedar Brook Park in Plainfield. For maps and directions visit ucnj.org/parks-recreation.
In addition, the Loop playground in the Watchung Reservation includes a mist feature, and the County’s Trailside Nature and Science Center in Mountainside is a short walk away. It is open seven days a week from noon to 5:00 p.m.
For cooling stations in their municipalities, residents are encouraged to call their local police departments.
