The hottest weather yet of the summer has descended on New Jersey with little end in sight at least through week, prompting counties and communities to open cooling centers to help the state’s most vulnerable residents.

With dangerous temperatures expected to climb into the mid 90s and approaching 100 degrees, heat advisories have been issued for most of the state starting July 20.

Libraries, senior centers and other community facilities are serving as cooling centers for those who need a respite during the extreme weather. Residents are reminded to check on neighbors who could be at high risk for heat exposure.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY: Call before you go to assure location is still providing cooling services.
