- Cities including Detroit, Canton, Farmington Hills, Monroe, Westland and Garden City have published lists of cooling sites such as recreation centers, libraries, senior centers, police and fire lobbies, YMCAs and nonprofit locations.
- The Detroit Health Department and Parks and Recreation confirmed that multiple Detroit recreation centers and Detroit Public Library branches will operate as respite sites during normal hours and Detroit Chief Public Health Officer Ali Abazeed urged residents to check on older adults, children and people with chronic conditions.
- Officials and local news outlets warned about heat-related illness symptoms listed by the CDC — muscle cramps, dizziness, headache, weakness, nausea and heavy sweating — and advised staying hydrated and limiting outdoor activity during the hottest hours.
