Beat the Heat and Keep the Kids Busy!
Summer may not officially begin until June 20, but here in Pima County, the temperatures are already climbing! This week’s newsletter is all about helping you stay cool and keeping the kids entertained (and off the couch).
We’re sharing some helpful tips for staying safe in the heat and knowing what to do if someone gets overheated. And with school out for many local kids, we’ve also rounded up some fun, family-friendly activities to make the most of summer break.
Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy all the sunshine-filled adventures summer has to offer.

Extreme heat—a long period of excessively hot temperatures—peaks during summer months from June through August.
In addition to being uncomfortable, the heat can be harmful and can cause heat-related illness and sometimes death. Each year, nearly 2,000 people visit Arizona emergency rooms because of heat-related illnesses. The resources on this page can help you stay cool, stay safe, and stay informed.
