DES MOINES, Iowa — Dozens of cooling centers will be open around the Des Moines metro Monday as Polk County activates its extreme temperature plan.
The Local 5 Weather team anticipates Monday could be the hottest day of the year, with high temperatures peaking in the mid-to-upper 90s with heat indices approaching 110°.
Cooling centers provide air-conditioned spaces for Iowans to beat the heat. If you need assistance getting to any of these locations, DART is providing free rides to cooling centers.
