Overview
- The City of Savannah issued an extreme heat advisory for Sunday, June 14, with officials warning temperatures in the upper 90s and heat indices around 105–110 degrees.
- Local outlets report the advisory began at 11 a.m. but disagree on the end time, with one listing 5 p.m. and others listing 6 p.m., and the city’s official channel should be checked for final timing.
- City-run cooling resources are available for residents, including the Tompkins Center as a cooling center from 1 p.m. and splash pads open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at several parks.
- City pools — including Daffin, Jenkins and the Tompkins Center pool — are open with free admission from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. to give people a place to cool off.
- Officials urged simple precautions to avoid heat illness: drink water, limit sun exposure, rest in shaded or air-conditioned spaces, and check on elderly relatives, young children and pets.
