Tucson opened five cooling centers around the city today to help people get out of the heat.
All are at city-owned public facilities close to SunTran bus routes. This year, the city is keeping them open through the end of September -- one month longer than previous years.
Cooling centers are open during the hottest hours of the day, from noon to four p.m.
They’re open seven days a week, including holidays. They are located at the Donna Liggins, Fred Archer, Freedom, Morris K. Udall and Randolph Neighborhood Centers.
