If you don’t have A/C in your home, remember there are free open places to chill out during the mid-afternoon peak temperatures. Seniors can hang out at the Southborough Senior Center and anyone can cool off with a good book at the Southborough Library today from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
Actually – “chill” and “cool” are probably an exaggerations. I can’t promise those buildings will actually be cool at today’s peak. Their systems may be on overdrive this afternoon. But they should at least offer safe temperatures! And, thankfully, this isn’t the start of a heat wave. Tomorrow, the temperatures should be back down to a high of about 80°.
