Overview
- The county issued a three-day code red heat advisory covering Monday, June 29 through Wednesday, July 1 and says the heat will intensify into the rest of the week.
- Forecasts call for daytime highs in the mid-90s with heat-index values above 100 and overnight lows in the low to mid-70s that limit nighttime relief.
- Five Pittsburgh Healthy Active Living senior centers will operate as cooling centers daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and county pools and spray parks are open during regular hours, weather permitting.
- Allegheny County Department of Human Services is deploying home-delivered meals drivers, care managers and street outreach teams to check on older adults and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness and to distribute water and cooling supplies.
- Officials urged residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor time, never leave children or pets in cars, and use resources such as Allegheny Link and the SeniorLine while warning that alerts could be escalated if the heat persists through Friday and the July 4th weekend.
